[Kuroyume]

all i get is:

kuroyume@kuro-laptop:~/ffmpeg$ sudo ./configure --enable-amr_wb
sudo: unable to execute ./configure: Permission denied

if i do sudo -i i get

root@kuro-laptop:/home/kuroyume/ffmpeg# ./configure --enable-amr_wb
-bash: ./configure: /bin/sh: bad interpreter: Permission denied

Re: can't use ./configure

You don't use sudo for ./configure

I suggest you try to run it as normal user. You only need sudo to do the installation.

Also, I suggest running configure this way:

./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-amr_w

That will put the library in the standard directories, which will make it easier for other apps to find ffmpeg
Then run make, then sudo make install

Re: can't use ./configure

mmm... doesn't work either....

kuroyume@kuro-laptop:~/ffmpeg$ ./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-amr_wb
bash: ./configure: /bin/sh: bad interpreter: Permission denied

maybe it is a problem with bash?

Re: can't use ./configure

I would make sure that the file confiure is marked executable, usually that is already set in the tarball, so either make sure it is executable by right-clicking on the file and setting it there, or run the command 'chmod +x configure', but as you have previously cjchanged permissions, thet obviously may not work

else, you can delete the sources dir and re-extract and start fresh, that is probably easiest, or maybe the archive is corrupt, try downloading it again, perhaps from a different place.

If the sme error occurs trying a different program you can compile, then there may be a bash environment issue.but I have no clue as to what/where to go from there.

Re: can't use ./configure

it has happened before when trying to compile other stuff (the musicbrainz fix, for example)...

the weird thing is that i tried that right after installing, so maybe there was a problem at installation...
