configure：error：安装recordmydesktop-0.3.8.1时找不到libvorbis

Question

I'm trying to install recordmydesktop-0.3.8.1 under rhel6.4 x86_64. while running ./configure I get the following error message: configure: error: Can't find libvorbis But I have libvorbisfile.so.X files under my /usr/lib directory. The headers codec.h, vorbisenc.h and vorbisfile.h also exists in my /usr/include/vorbis directory. Could you help to resolve this issue please?

Answer 1

I had the same problem while installing recordMyDesktop. I found a simple solution. I installed libvorbis:

sudo apt-get install libvorbis-dev

If it also asks for other packages simply add the package name as following pattern:

sudo apt-get install lib[library-name]-dev

Answer 2

Uninstall existing libvorbis and try below steps to re-install.

cd /opt

wget http://downloads.xiph.org/releases/vorbis/libvorbis-1.3.4.tar.gz

tar xzvf libvorbis-1.3.4.tar.gz

cd libvorbis-1.3.4

./configure --prefix="$HOME/ffmpeg_build" --with-ogg="$HOME/ffmpeg_build" --disable-shared

make

make install
