Hello all,

I need to install these packages LAME MP3 Encoder, Libogg + Libvorbis, Mencoder and also Mplayer, FFMpeg-PHP, GD Library 2, CGI-BIN on a centos . I searched the Google but most of the wget commands are not working because the links are not active links and I get error message failed: Connection timed out. Does anyone know where to get these packages with explanation of how to install them? Thank you

Have you tried enabling rpmfusion repos? http://www.rpmfusion.org/

Once, you enable it, most of (if not all) the above packages should be available for install with yum.

I take it you did not read the centos wiki or forum ?
http://wiki.centos.org/
http://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalResources/Repositories

there is a link to that on the MAIN cent page
http://centos.org/

or any of the other pages for a red hat based system
like fedora or suse

although for fedora 15 it is applicable to cent 5.6 - just edit the commands for cent
http://www.mjmwired.net/resources/mjm-fedora-f15.html


but be warned seeing as music and video are so low a priority for rhel/cent/sl
that some of the needed packages are still in rpmforge and in the 90% incompatible ATrpm
so you MUST use the "yum-protectbase" and the "yum-priories" plugins
and CONFIGURE !!!!!!!! yum-priories in the repo files
otherwise you WILL kill the install - FUBAR it

so pay attention TO ALL and EVERY warning on the cent wiki!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello and thank you for your response. I did the repositories from here http://www.rpmfusion.org/. Do you know a good site that would have all theses packages (LAME MP3 Encoder, Libogg + Libvorbis, Mencoder and also Mplayer, FFMpeg-PHP, GD Library 2, CGI-BIN) for download and install? Thank you again

Hello,

Thank you for your response. I read the wiki link. I am at the stage of installing ffmpeg-php and unable to install it. I downloaded the ffmpeg from here http://sourceforge.net/projects/ffmp...es/ffmpeg-php/. Untar it to /usr/local/src. It created a folder called ffmpeg-php-0.6.0. I did yum install gcc. Here is the out put,

[root@localhost ffmpeg-php-0.6.0]#./configure

checking for ffmpeg headers...
configure: error: ffmpeg headers not found. Make sure ffmpeg is compiled as shared libraries using the --enable-shared option

did you read the README file in that source code package for the web page php code
you need to install the -devel rpm's also
the -devel packages are the header files

and did you search the cent repos
it is most likely already there

Hello,

They are both installed,

Hello all,

Thank you for your feedback and your help. I found out that two repository files were conflicting with each other in /etc/yum.repos.d folder. One I had created called repo.dag and one I had downloaded off the Internet. I removed the one I had created and it is all good now. Thank you again.

that is why in post #3 i posted this
rhel/centos and multimedia do not mix well
and it is VERY easy to mess up a install trying

Yes John,

You are right. I should stick with centos website since I am using centos distribution. Thank you

rpmforge is fine but do not mix with atrpm
if atrpm is used then ONLY atrpm is used

now some programs can be used from atrpm
mplayer but then turn off that repo


basically it gets very very complicated very quickly
and can lead to dependency issues very very quickly

the standard extra repos are epel and rpmforge


red hat and the clones were NEVER desinged with the home desktop in mind
That is an afterthought . On an office desktop desktop the secretary or accounting,PR,... departments do not need to play videos or play music

the same for the lab . The technicians do not need to play music or videos or video dvd's
