I was trying to install ffmpeg-php on Fedora9, I’ve downloaded the ffpmeg-php-0.6.0 and used phpize and ./configure –enable-shared –prefix=/usr and both of them worked fine but when I tried to run make I got the following error:
“make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.”

I tried the same procedure with ffmpeg-php-0.5.1 and ffmpeg-0.5.0 but failed.
Can anyone help with this.

I can’t install ffmpeg-php using your instructions. I continue to receive the error when I attempt to configure:

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

Thing is, ffmpeg is installed with –enable-shared:

Great Post.
I install it successfully on server (rhel 5)
But I lost the display (Graphical mode). So that server is running on runlevel 3.
How can I get back the display of the server?
Thanks
