    Re: HOWTO: Install and use the latest FFmpeg and x264

    i just went through instructions for installing on 9.04(http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php...&postcount=636)
    and everything seemed to work fine.
    but now i can't run ffmpeg.
    Code:
    centralsqwall@PowerSpec:~/Pictures/OMPD/test-12-16$ ffmpeg
    bash: /usr/bin/ffmpeg: No such file or directory
    i have to link the ffmpeg directory to the /usr/bin directory? or move it?

    thanks,
    dan

    See post #777 - a reboot should fix it

    Very impressive!!, that command does not even have a man entry! (the shell had cached the original location of ffmpeg /usr/bin which is changed to /usr/local/bin when you install the compiled version, and "hash -r" clears the shell hash cache)

    I'm trying to narrow down this issue, but I am unsure how to replicate it. Did you have FFmpeg installed before starting this guide? As CoolDreamZ mentioned, a reboot will take care of this, but I would like to find a less disruptive method. Reboot in Linux? Blasphemy!

    Update: Instead of rebooting, if you haven't already, try the "hash -r" command. Does that work?

    Update Update: The "hash -r" command works. No more rebooting needed.

    Great tut, it works, but every time i get it installed, aptitude wants to remove it!

    The following packages will be REMOVED:
    ffmpeg{u}

    How to keep my custom ffmpeg? I followed the directions step by step!

    Not sure how you got ffmpeg marked as automatically installed - there is a possibility or 2. Anyway just mark it as manually installed.

    Going sudo aptitude unmarkauto ffmpeg may or may not work. What should always is to open synaptic, search ffmpeg, highlight it and under the package tab, uncheck 'automatically installed'

    Now if it's not checked 'autom.... ...' then that would be, well, interesting.

    I figured it out...

    aptitude hold ffmpeg

    does it

    What version of Ubuntu are you using? I may have added the wrong checkinstall options during one of the revisions to this guide. There are four versions of this guide and although I try to test all updates I sometimes make occasional mistakes.

    I am using 9.10, but this has happened to me before, iirc, on earlier versions, but aptitude hold seems to take care of things.

    If it helps, before i applied hold, 'show' revealed something about not being used by other programs, and so would be removed

    Thanks!
