linux nooB: Installing ffmpeg + dependencies on aws linux ami (repo issues)
- by HdN8
Im installing ffmpeg to run on an amazon linux ami, and have added the rpmforge repo and the dag repo. Here are some guidelines I'm using for reference: TWoZaO and Razuna
The rpmforge repo has ffmpeg, but if you try to install it then it will complain that is missing dependencies (for me libSDL-1.2.so.0()(64bit)). Regardless I will install ffmpeg from svn so I can be sure to enable the options I want (namely libx264). It seems strange to me though that SDL is not in rpmforge or dag, and in according to both of my references above, it should be there. I tried to grab it manually from here, but it needs these dependencies, so no-go:
error: Failed dependencies: SDL =
1.2.10-8.el5 is needed by SDL-devel-1.2.10-8.el5.x86_64
alsa-lib-devel is needed by

Any advice for a linux nooB lost in a mess of repos and dependency errors?
