Trying to build on CentOS 6.4 - compiler throwing errors

Question

These errors seem particularly nasty. I am wondering if I am missing something obvious or others have reported such problems.

Answer

Had the same issue and found a workaround to install motion with my custom ffmpeg(latest version):

rpm -ivh http://centos.alt.ru/repository/centos/6/x86_64/motion-3.2.12-8.el6.x86_64.rpm --nodeps

and

ln -sf /usr/lib64/mysql/libmysqlclient.so.16 /usr/lib64/mysql/libmysqlclient.so.18 ( I don't need mysql anyway)

Hope it works for you

Regards,

Mike
