Install from source error on Ubuntu Server 10.04.

[FeraTechInc]

Has anybody tried to install from source on Ubuntu 10.04? I installed the latest FFMPEG and I can't compile 1.25.x It gives me the following error:

make[2]: *** [zm_ffmpeg_camera.o] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/zm/src'
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/zm'
make: *** [all] Error 2

I heard that Zoneminder required a specific version however of FFMPEG however, I haven't found anything about which version it really is.

Any help would be appreciated.

Just

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install zoneminder

it will resolve all dependencies automatically

I have tried that. It gives me the same error. Something I compiled messed up the version of ffmpeg.

[jonathancnewcomb]

Try the following:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install -f

[jonathancnewcomb]

If you still get the error try the following

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get purge ffmpeg
sudo apt-get install ffmpeg

[jonathancnewcomb]

This is the version I am using and it functions:

Code: Select all

ffmpeg version 0.8.3-4:0.8.3-0ubuntu0.12.04.1, Copyright (c) 2000-2012 the Libav developers
  built on Jun 12 2012 16:52:09 with gcc 4.6.3

When you read this, if you are still having problems please attach the output from the following command:

Code: Select all

dpkg -l

Please note that is a lower case L

You are getting this because of the following line:

Code: Select all

1 not fully installed or removed.

Please do the following:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get --purge remove zoneminder
sudo apt-get install --reinstall zoneminder

Then make sure your cache is clean:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get autoclean
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get autoremove

This should work.

Here is the result:

sudo apt-get install --reinstall zoneminder

On Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. Have installed dozens of times following the ZM Wiki for 10.04 to the exact letter. Never had a problem. First, however, had to make sure Ubuntu 10.04 LTS was up to date, then install ZM 1.24.XX

Yes I definitely tried that, I believe it came down to the gcc compiler. The STDIO library in later versions (guessing here) must be implied. Something was out of date on this box and apt wasnt updating it for some reason. I didnt go through the sources to check if everything was current, I just wanted to get the source to compile. Luckily it was at the top
