Thanks for this.It would be cool if you could add it to the distros section of the Wiki.

I followed this wiki.

To get it working in my ubuntu 8.10 i had to make this little changes:

1) After compiling FFMPEG i had to:

cd /etc/ld.so.conf.d
sudo gedit /etc/ld.so.conf.d/custom-libs.conf

Then add:

/usr/local/lib

and save.
Then

sudo ldconfig

2)

gedit .bashrc

And add at the end of the file:

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH

Save. Exit and reboot.

3) Before configure zoneminder i had to edit zm/src/zm_rtsp.cpp at line 183 as follow (link: http://www.zoneminder.com/forums/viewto ... 9597#49597 )

diff -urN ZoneMinder-1.24.0.old//src/zm_rtsp.cpp ZoneMinder-1.24.0//src/zm_rtsp.cpp

### These are my shared settings for 2GB of ram to support 6 color cameras at 640x480 and higher resolutions. I have a spread sheet which computes these numbers - seems to solve the problem. Edit and append to sysctl.conf as follows:

Can you send me your spread sheet that computes that numbers?

Hi there,

I've been struggling with the zoneminder 1.24.1 installation on Ubuntu Desktop 8.10 for about 2 days now

I have done all of the above but when trying to start zm with

Code: Select all

sudo zmpkg.pl start 

I do get the following error:

Code: Select all

/usr/local/bin/zmfix: symbol lookup error: /usr/local/lib/libavcodec.so.52: undefined symbol: av_gcd

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

BTW: ffmpeg gives me the following

Code: Select all

When building ffmpeg from the latest sources the option "--enable-swscale" did not work.
Is that a problem?

Thanks in advance!!!!

André

[zoneminder]

Looks like the latest ffmpeg has made swscale the default now. I'm not sure what your first error relates to, other than it is ffmpeg related, but will have a look.

Can you confirm you don't have any old copies of ffmpeg libraries etc lying around?

[zoneminder_andre]

I am pretty sure ... since it was a clean 8.10 installation.

Anyhow, how would I get rid of all ffmeg libraries to install compile it from scratch?

Thanks in advance!
André

[zoneminder]

I think you can just 'make uninstall' but have not actually done it lately.

[newvisionantenna]

I run make uninstall-libs then make uninstall. It will say some directories couldn't be deleted. I just double check them and every time I rebuild I have no issue's.

Check your inbox, sent you that firmware.

[jsylvia007]

I'm able to configure and "make" perfectly fine...

When I try "make install" i get this:

Code: Select all

Making install in src

This is a vanilla 8.10 install, following the above guide.

[treesloth]

An error occurs during make

make[2]: *** [zmc] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/tristan/ffmpeg/zm/src'
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/tristan/ffmpeg/zm'
make: *** [all] Error 2

I will proceed and see if it compiles though

[Blazer]

those errors with @ are autoconf aliases, sometimes you can fix by running:

autoconf
automake
and then trying to make again.

[jsylvia007]

@ Blazer - You were correct. that fixed my issues.

I'm in the process of redoing this from scratch, because the above steps do leave out some important things on a fresh ubuntu 8.10 server. The order is a little off as well...

But, wouldn't you know it... SVN.MPLAYERHQ.HU is offline, so i'm dead in the water until that comes back up. Grrr.

[craver84]

same problem....

[jsylvia007]

18 hours later and its still down... This is not good. So much for wrapping this up before the weekend gets here.

Does anyone know what is going on?
