Looks like I have a mixture of gcc packages. I removed the link, and it didn't make any difference, so I recreated it. Other ideas? Rodney D.

After installing numerous packages via apt-get, I also had to install jpeg-6b, lame-3.96.1 via source and then compile. I also had to install ffmpeg. At this point, I was able to get transcode ./configure d. However, it won't make. I uninstalled the apt-get packaage and reinstalled the source and configured with the --enable-shared, as per http://www.transcoding.org/cgi-bin/transcode?Building_Transcode However, I still get stopped when I try and make.

Thanks in advance for any help... BillBefore a hardware problem, I had tovid working perfectly. Which gcc are you using? 3.** or 4.00 ls -la /usr/bin/gcc If you are using 4.0, remove and symlink to 3.** |
