install-ffmpeg (for bbb0.9-beta) fails: missing libavcodec/allcodecs.c among others

[Xavier de Pedro]

Hi:

I tried to install bbb 0.9-beta, following instructions here:
https://code.google.com/p/bigbluebutton/wiki/090InstallationUbuntu

When I did run the install-ffmpeg.sh, I got stuck because the server
doesn't seem to have some files expected by the script. See below.

Installation was on top of a brand new installation of Lubuntu 14.04, 64
bits (after all packages upgraded, etc., as indicated in the instructions).

Any tip?

Xavi

You're trying to install on Lubuntu instead of the recommended Ubuntu. I don't know if it's the cause of your problem, but you could very likely run into other dependency issues if you keep going.

[Xavier de Pedro]

Ah, ok, good-point.

So the issue might come from the fact that some default package with audio/video codecs is different in the lubuntu derivative.

Thanks for the tip...
