hi all,

i found the root cause of this error and finally got ffmpeg installed.
here’s what i did (in more detail than most command line veterans need because that’s how i like MY instructions) in case anyone else runs into this problem:

in Terminal, run command:
texi2html -version

i found i was running version 5.0 of texi2html.
i read this post:
https://groups.google.com/group/ffmbc-discuss/browse_thread/thread/9fdf9194a583e7aa?pli=1
where i learned that 5.0 is an old build and that i should remove it so a later version located in /usr/bin would be used in the ffmpeg make install instead.

so i ran command:
ls /usr/bin/texi2html
to make sure i had a version of texi2html in my /usr/bin

then i ran command:
which texi2html
to find out the location of texi2html that my system was seeing by default.

second to last, i got rid of the old version of texi2html by running command:
sudo rm /opt/local/bin/texi2html

and lastly, from the ~/ffmpeg folder i ran command:
sudo make install

and voila! install completed with no error.

love the cow.

thanks reuben!

with this in mind i rm’d the jack directory from /usr/local/include
and i rm’d jack* from /usr/local/lib
i rm’d the ~/ffmpeg folder and ran command:
svn checkout svn://svn.ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg/trunk ffmpeg
i cd to ffmpeg and run configure
./configure –enable-gpl –enable-version3 –enable-nonfree –enable-postproc –enable-pthreads –enable-libfaac –enable-libmp3lame –enable-libopencore-amrnb –enable-libopencore-amrwb –enable-libtheora –enable-libx264 –enable-x11grab –enable-libvpx

then i run make and now i get a shiny new error:
Option number is ambiguous (number-footnotes, number-sections)
Try `texi2html –help’ for more information.
make: *** [doc/developer.html] Error 2

what did i do to be cast into ffmpeg install hell this time?

Thanks jas. I follow. I hate to be a bother but what’s the best way for me to link the Y rotation of the inside cylinder to the Y rotation of the outside one. You know, so I can keep the rotation animation seemless. I guess if I knew expressions, i could do this pretty easily, but i don’t.
Thanks Again.

That’s what it was. Really simple fix. Always good to have somebody from the outside looking in. Thanks a lot.

Thanks for the reply. It definitely was not the work area.
