I am trying to get mpeg2 support on a fedora system - the ugly & bad plugins aren't available in the repository so I have to build from source. I built and installed libmpeg2 but it installs in /usr/local/lib and configure for the ugly plugins isn't finding it. What do I need to do? TIA!

Specify where to install it while configuring libmpeg2 :
./configure --prefix=/usr, for example. You can also set the location for libmpeg2 while installing uglies, with something like : ./configure --with-libmpeg2=/usr/local/lib ./configure --help will certainly help you. 2012/7/6 Chuck Crisler <[hidden email]> I am trying to get mpeg2 support on a fedora system - the ugly & bad plugins aren't available in the repository so I have to build from source.

Install the rpmforge repository which contains all these plugins and are
built against the fedora ones...

Thank you for the help, but I still haven't been able to resolve the issues. Using RPMForge I downloaded and installed libmpeg2. The command: yum info libmpeg2-0.5.1-2.el5.rf.x86_64 shows that it is installed. Also, the so's are in /usr/lib64. Basically the same is also true for x264. Yet configure still is not able to find either library. I tried to install both the ugly and bad plug-ins from the RPMForge site but they both seem to require conflicting versions of libmodplug (libmodplug.so.0 and libmodplug.so.1), so that wasn't successful either. I have looked (many times) at the configure script but can't understand why it 'decides' (around line 25921) that these libraries aren't available.
Here is the configure output for mpeg2dec. The output for x264 is essentially the same. configure: *** checking feature: mpeg2dec *** configure: *** for plug-ins: mpeg2dec *** checking for MPEG2DEC... no configure: No package 'libmpeg2' found configure: *** These plugins will not be built: mpeg2dec I did try adding --enable-mpeg2dec=yes and --enable-x264=yes to the command line but that didn't make any difference. All help is greatly appreciated. Chuck On Fri, Jul 6, 2012 at 5:26 PM, Nathanael D.

Having a library installed for applications to use, and having a libraries development include headers etc for compiling are two very different uses. Make sure you have the -devel version of whatever required software you are compiling against. Seriously though, if you don't know how to check this stuff you really aught to spend your time getting the pre-packaged rpms working instead. I haven't had to do what you are doing to get mpeg2 plugins working in a very long time. You must have something messed up in the installed packages on your system. -- Nathanael d.
