Motion unable to start - symbol lookup error

Question

I am unable to start motion. I have installed ffmped and ffmped-devel and all their relevent dependancies from rpm files. ffmpeg and ffmpeg-devel rpms where installed from the rpm listed on your download page. motion was installed using the rpm on your download page. I get the following error message when I run motion:

motion: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libavcodec.so.51: undefined symbol: faacDecOpen

[root@localhost ld.so.conf.d]# motion

Answer

You seem to be missing some ffmpeg dependencies still.

You need faad2 and faad2-devel rpms to be able to build programs with your installed ffmpeg.
