[FFmpeg-user] Configuration is empty??

[Marc-Olivier Bergeron]

Hay!

I have a weird problem, or I'm just being stupid. I installed ffmpeg with a
load of codecs (mp3lame, vpx, ogg, vorbis, libfaac, libfaad, theora, etc)
and they are not in the "ffmpeg -codecs" list or in the "ffmpeg -formats"
list.

Upon installation, I entered this:
"./configure --prefix=/usr --libdir=/usr/lib64 --mandir=/usr/share/man
--disable-avisynth --enable-avfilter --enable-libfaac --enable-libgsm
--enable-libmp3lame --enable-libopencore-amrnb --enable-libopencore-amrwb
--enable-libx264 --enable-gpl --enable-nonfree --enable-postproc
--enable-pthreads --enable-shared --enable-swscale --enable-vdpau
--enable-version3 --enable-x11grab --enable-libvorbis --enable-libvpx
--enable-libtheora"
And everything went well after "make && make install", but then, if I just
write "ffmpeg", I do not get a single library that was installed, I get
this:
" ffmpeg version 0.7_beta2, Copyright (c) 2000-2011 the Libav developers

Why is "configuration:" empty? Is it because 0.7 version does not give the
configuration anymore?


ANYWAY, here's all the info I know and what I tried:
When I try to encode a video like this:
"ffmpeg -i sample.mp4 -vcodec h263 -acodec libfaac -y sample.3gp"
It says:
"Unknown encoder 'libfaac'"

We had 0.6.1 on our server before, installed 0.7 on top of it Friday and
upon entering "ffmpeg", it said there were multiple config files. I told
myself I would correct this Monday but now there is no configuration,
perhaps because of a server reboot.

I checked on the internet how to unsinstall, it said "make clean" and/or
"make uninstall". Tried both but ffmpeg is still there afterwards (locate
with grep)

In the "./configuration" command, I tried putting incorrect values, like
"--enable-libfaaaaaaac" and it gives me an error message, so it means that
it works with the correct synthax "--enable-libfaac"

I have set all the paths after installation:
ln -s /usr/local/lib/libfaac.so.0 /usr/lib/libfaac.so.0
ln -s /usr/local/lib/libfaad.so.2 /usr/lib/libfaad.so.2
ln -s /usr/local/lib/libmp3lame.so.0 /usr/lib/libmp3lame.so.0
ln -s /usr/local/lib/libogg.so.0 /usr/lib/libogg.so.0
ln -s /usr/local/lib/libvorbisenc.so.2 /usr/lib/libvorbisenc.so.2
ln -s /usr/local/lib/libvorbis.so.0 /usr/lib/libvorbis.so.0
ln -s /usr/local/lib/libvorbis.so.0 /usr/lib/libvorbis.so.0
ln -s /usr/local/lib/libtheoradec.so.1 /usr/lib/libtheoradec.so.1
ln -s /usr/local/lib/libtheoraenc.so.1 /usr/lib/libtheoraenc.so.1
ln -s /usr/local/lib/libavcodec.so.52 /usr/lib/libavcodec.so.52
ln -s /usr/local/lib/libavformat.so.52 /usr/lib/libavformat.so.52
ln -s /usr/local/lib/libavutil.so.50 /usr/lib/libavutil.so.50
ln -s /usr/local/bin/ffmpeg2theora /usr/bin/ffmpeg2theora

I have tried that line that was supposed to fix it:
"sudo ldconfig"

Our server is 64bits, but I still managed to compile everything with "-fPIC"
when was needed so that is not the problem.

My lib directories has all the libs needed (ls listing):

I'm about to throw myself out the window so if anyone has any idea, it would
be appreciated.

Thanks!
