i am guessing that i'm missing a lot of components. but i cannot make heads or tails out of this whole thing.
someone can help?

This is the important part (at least for now). You need to install the libSDL development package.

thanks for replying me. i have tried to search the libSDL from the internet but i get nothing unless SDL only. and i have already install the SDL. but it didnt give any improvement.
so can you tell me where can i get those libSDL?
thanks!

There are some rpms on this page http://www.libsdl.org/download-1.2.php, note that you have to scroll to the bottom of the page for the development libraries, not just the runtime libraries. If you use a distro that doesn't use rpms, then let me know which one.

thanks.
actually i have download some of the SDL before but i think i miss up something. so i tried it again.
and this is the message its show me when i ' make ' again the mpeg4ip :

i still have some questions to ask you :

1. is it mean i already success get the lib of the SDL?
2. my sound card is working and i can detect it. so what is the problem?

however thank you very much for helping me!
have a nice day
take care

MPEG4IP relies on a bunch of other software - you really should read the README or INSTALL file (I would tell you exactly which file, but I'm not on my computer right now), it has a list of what you need. One of them is faac, and another is faad2 (I think... there are urls for the right packages in the docs, and you will have to compile them as well). If you still can't get it to work, post again and I'll check my setup (I managed to get MPEG4IP running about three weeks ago, and I didn't read the instructions at first either, so I had these problems too ).

i always read the read me file before i install but sometimes i am really blur about it because i dont know the linux very well. and i also have read through some of the articles about the mpeg4ip before. but inside the article it has talk something about the cvs. is it we need to install cvs as well to make sure our mpeg4ip work?
i also have asked some of my friend and they dunno what is that. i have tried to install the cvs but i dunno how to install it as it need me to download the source code from the net and i dunno where can i get the source code as well.

i have download some package of faad2 and faac, and i do update them but it still show me the same message that no such file. is it i downloaded the wrong package?

below is the list of the package i download :

faac-1.24-1.1.fc2.fr.i386
faac-1.24-1.1.fc2.fr.x86_64
faac-devel-1.24-1.1.fc2.fr.i386
faac-devel-1.24-1.1.fc2.fr.x86_64
faad2-2.0-1.1.fc2.fr.i386
faad2-2.0-1.1.fc2.fr.x86_64
faad2-devel-2.0-1.1.fc2.fr.i386
faad2-devel-2.0-1.1.fc2.fr.x86_64

beside this, i also try to download the source code of these two package but i cant 'make' them. so......

hope that you can tell me where i did wrong
thanks

and one more things, my network card is a external network card but i cant ping because my eth0 cant active. so do you have any idea about this?
i am using the antech 10/100m ethernet PCI adapter.

CVS is a tool for downloading and updating source code. It shouldn't be essential unless you want to have the latest code (which sometimes means you can get code that doesn't even work!). As for your list of packages, they look ok (except that unless you are using a 64-bit CPU, you don't need the x86_64 packages). I'll have a look on my machine tonight and post here what I had to do to get MPEG4IP to run properly. For now, you might want to check this error out:

audio_faac.h:26:18: faac.h: No such file or directory

When you are compiling, gcc can't find the faac.h file. Try to find out where your package installed that file. Also, you might like to try erasing the MPEG4IP directory and unpacking the code again to make sure everything is untainted by previous runs - sometimes early results are cached. Erasing the directory is the easiest way to make sure this isn't happening.

You might be best to post a new thread for this... it's easier to keep unrelated problems separate, and if you post a new thread, someone who might know more about this particular card than me might be able to help (I think most people don't regularly read already-answered threads). Be sure to post any error messages, and information on what you've tried to make it work.

Just managed to check out my system... I have both the cvs code, and a 1.1 tarball. Only the tarball version compiled properly, once faac, and faad2 were built and installed. You definitely need to follow the README files for all three packages, as they have a bootstrap script that needs to be run before configure. Be sure to start with clean directories, and install faad2 first, then faac, then MPEG4IP.

i tried installing faad2 and this is what i got :

[root@localhost faad2]# autoreconf -vif

do you know what is the problem here?
if you still have the files you used to install mpeg4ip, can you please send them to my email?
my project deadline is coming up really soon. so i need to get the mpeg4ip working as soon as possible.
if you dun have those files or if it is too big to send through email. can you please tell me the web site you downloaded them from?
i hope you dont mind

my email address: scorpionbob@yahoo.com

thanks!

OK, make sure you have the libtool package installed, that should solve this first problem. Another problem that may come up after this is that you need a new version of automake - it should be 1.6 or newer. To find out what version you have, type "automake --version", and upgrade it if necessary. I will triple check the files I have on my machine (can't check right now, it's at home and in Windows ) and let you know if they differ from the files in the tarball.

The problem is...I already installed libtool. That was one of the first few things I installed. And I'm sure automake is newer than 1.6. Is it possible that my files are corrupted or something? Do you think I should reinstall those files?

And did you send anything to my email yet? When I mentioned the files you used to install Mpeg4ip, I meant the tarballs and rpm files you downloaded to complete the installation. I'm waiting patiently here...

Thanks.

Are you sure because you checked, or because you don't think your distro would give you an older version?

The FAAD2 tarball I'm using is here:
http://www.audiocoding.com/modules/mydownloads/
Note that you have to scroll right to the bottom - there are two, and the bottom one is the one I used (this file is around 700k, the newer one is 900).
I would concentrate on getting that one to build correctly (I still can't build it on my Debian stable system, but I can't quite figure out why right now... it builds perfectly on testing).

I'm sure because I remember downloading a newer version. Anyway, I checked and I have automake 1.8...

And the FAAD2 tarball I used is the same as yours. Anyway, I solved the problem with the 'autoreconf -vif' command by reinstalling libtool but now I have another problem...After I run ./configure (which seems to be ok), I can't make FAAD2...Look at the bottom of the list:
