Installation problem - RPM dependency check still fails

Question

Hi I am trying to install motion on my CentOS 4.4-based server (effectively RedHat Enterprise Linux 4 Update 4). Having read the preparation notes, I have downloaded the "known good" ffmpeg tgz snapshot, configured (with shared option), made and installed it. I edited /etc/ld.so.conf as instructed and ran ldconfig. The various libav*.so files are now in /usr/local/lib.

When I try to install the Motion RPM, it is still complaining of failed dependencies - libavcodec.so.51 etc etc.

However these files do exist in /usr/local/lib.

Any idea why the dependency check is still failing ?

Environment

Motion version:	3.2.7
ffmpeg version:
Libraries:	ffmpeg, mysql, postgresql
Server OS:	RedHat Enterprise Linux 4 Update 4 (CentOS4.4)

Answer

If you want to use motion RPM package you must satisfy all the dependencies from RPM , so you cannot use a package compile by hand.

Anyway you can get the motion tarball and compile by hand.
