Hi all I was trying to use alien bob's slackbuild mentioned in another thread http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...hine..-780946/ and it failed everytime, so I tried to do it individually, building dependencies with sbopkg which worked except for Schroedinger and then ffmpeg still fails. I don't have access to the logs or fail messages at this moment, but I'm wondering if it is failing due to the newest gcc-multilib version? Does anyone else have an idea or any thoughts on this?

I think it's worth mentioning that I'm also running kernel 2.6.33-rc3 with multilib-current

Right now, just build with tar and make plus dependencies.
Download ffmpeg source.
Use tar -xvf or tar -xjf
Read the README and INSTALL documents in the foder.
Add the dependences.
Use ./configure to build and vi to further adjust the Makefile variables.
Make install clean.

It always helps if you post the actual errors, so that we do not have to guess.

The problem is schrodinger 1.0.7. try using 1.0.8 and it should compile fine.

I know and I hate to be a pain, but I didn't have access to my slackbox at the time, and was wondering if someone else had had the same problem, or if it was just me. Thank you for reading my post.

I think you might have nailed it. With 1.0.8 Schroedinger built just fine.

I wasn't sure if there was a way to use BOB's script (BIG THANKS for all the awesome scripts and help BTW) So I went back to SBo and (attempted anyway) to pass essentially the patents=yes options. ffmpeg built this time. My only question is now going to be if I "passed the variables to the script" properly. I just did
