Unable to install php5-ffmpeg

[alfirdaous]

Hello,

I am trying to install the php5-ffmpeg and I've got the below error:



# sudo apt-get install php5-ffmpeg
Reading package lists... Done

Reading state information... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable

The following information may help to resolve the situation:


The following packages have unmet dependencies:
php5-ffmpeg : Depends: phpapi-20090626
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.



and I tried to install the tar package:

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



Thanks in advance

You didn't mention your Ubuntu version.

Are you sure you even need a PHP wrapper for ffmpeg? Especially one that has been dead since 2007.
