I tried to install Xuggler on CentOS but it was throwing exceptions (don't
have the specifics right now) and after email exchanges with Art Clarke,
ended up building it on CentOS server. I've successfully installed it on
CentOS, deployed in Tomcat 5.5 and it has been working fine for the last 6+
months.
Let me know if I can answer any specific build related questions.

Thanks for ur reply. I read discuusions of u and Art Clarke.
I want to get it know that which versions of following u have used:
Tomcat, Xuggler, Java,Ant,Perl,Gcc,Gmake Yasm...etc
Have you Build xuggler by urself for ur linux?
I can use any linux. The only thing is that it should get run
successfully.
Currently i am trying it on Ubuntu 10.04 (also tried it on version 8
and 9). But i am not able to install xuggler on it.
I am using xuggle-xuggler-i386-linux.sh file.
and i m following instruction from http://xuggle.wordpress.com/2009/01/23/how-to-install-xuggler-on-linux/
But after i type command run-tests it gives me error --- Build.xml
not found.
Also one more thing xuggler has specified that we need to build xuggle
by ourself for linux version other than Ubuntu Jaunty... Is it realy
so?

I build and run Xuggle on Linux 10 all the time. I haven't tested the installed in over a year because we don't use it -- we build from scratch.
As for the tomcat issues, here's the FAQ:
http://wiki.xuggle.com/Frequently_Asked_Questions
- Art
http://www.xuggle.com/
xu‧ggle (zŭ' gl) v. To freely encode, decode, and experience audio and video.
Use Xuggle to get the power of FFmpeg in Java.

Thank u for ur reply.
As u said that u always build and run xuggle on Linux 10. So do you
build it by urself as given on http://www.xuggle.com/xuggler/downloads/build.jsp
???
Could you pls suggest me which version of following should i use.
Version :
Linux, Java, Xuggle and some thing more if reqd.....
For tomcat i already went through the FAQ. But first i want to set up
xuggle then i wll go for tomcat.

Install on Linux:
Note: Due to compatibility issues, Xuggler had to be build from source on the Linux server
List of prerequisites and installation steps are given on xuggler’s website:
http://www.xuggle.com/xuggler/downloads/build.jsp
You can use the following command to list packages installed on the server:
rpm -qa --queryformat "%{GROUP} %{NAME}-%{VERSION}\n" | sort
· Install Apache Ant
· Perl came pre-installed on the dedicated server
· GCC / G++ came preinstalled on the dedicated server
· gmake 3.81 came preinstalled on the dedicated server
· Install yasm
· Install Subversion
Notes:
· Make sure ANT_HOME is defined
Steps followed when installed last (Apr 2010):
1. Get the source code in a convenient folder, for example /home/dilipvshah
In one line, execute the following command:
svn checkout http://xuggle.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/java/xuggle-xuggler xuggle-xuggler
This will create folder xuggle-xuggler and get all the code in that folder
2. Set the necessary environment variables as follows:
export XUGGLE_HOME=/usr/local/xuggler
export PATH=$XUGGLE_HOME/bin:$PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$XUGGLE_HOME/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
Add them in /root/.bash_profile file as well for permanent setting
3. Before starting the installation, make sure there is no other version of FFMpeg installed in the path before the XUGGLE_HOME/lib versions (this came from Art Clarke of Xuggle)
4. Switch to folder xuggle-xuggler and run the following command:
ant run-tests
Check that all tests ran 100% successfully. If they did, then execute:
sudo ant install
This will install Xuggler in /usr/local/xuggler directory
Install on Tomcat
Once Xuggler has been installed on the server, follow these steps to install it on Tomcat on that server:
1. Place the xuggle-xuggler.jar JNI files in $CATALINA_HOME/shared/lib
These are OS specific files. Basically, copy content of
XUGGLE_HOME/lib
to
CATALINA_HOME/shared/lib
2. Copy the Xuggler jar file in CATALINA_HOME/common/lib
Copy the content of
XUGGLE_HOME/share/java/jars
to
CATALINA_HOME/common/lib
Add Xuggler environment variables in Tomcat’s startup file.
Add the following to startup.sh:
echo "setting Xuggler env variables..."
export XUGGLE_HOME=/usr/local/xuggler
echo "XUGGLE_HOME=$XUGGLE_HOME"
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$XUGGLE_HOME/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
echo "LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH"
export PATH=$XUGGLE_HOME/bin:$PATH
echo "PATH=$PATH"
This completes Xuggler installation in Tomcat (5.5, in my case).
Hope this helps.

Thank you so much once again for such a detailed notes.
Before i go for these steps i want to clear some more points.
* You have not mentioned about installing java. Do we need to
install it ?, if yes which version ?
* What about ANT_HOME = ????
* Any Linux can b used?
* The command: sudo apt-get install Subversion is not
working....instead i tried it by command : sudo apt-get install
subversion ( small 's' ) ... is it same or diff.?
These questions might b silly but i don't want to take any risk.
Thanks.

Yes, you need to have Java installed on the machine. I have jdk1.6.0_23 on
the server on which I installed Xuggler.
For Ant (1.8.1), here are my installation notes:
1. Download ant’s .tar.gz file
2. Copy the tar.gz file to parent folder of the folder in which you wish to
install ant. For example in, /usr/local folder
3. sudo as root user (command: su -)
4. Switch to the folder in which the tar.gz file is copied
5. Issue the command:
tar -xzvf apache-ant-1.8.1-bin.tar.gz
Ant will be installed in folder /usr/local/apache-ant-1.8.1
Before using Ant, make sure that the following environment variables are
set:
export ANT_HOME=/usr/local/apache-ant-1.8.1
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/local/jdk1.6.0_23
export PATH=${PATH}:${ANT_HOME}/bin
I haven't built Xuggler on any Linux other than CentOS.
My notes on installing Subversion on Linux:
1. Get Subversion’s RPM file, such as
CollabNetSubversion-client-1.6.9-1.i386.rpm from the web -
http://subversion.apache.org/packages.html
2. Extract the files from the RPM by executing the following command from
the directory that has the RPM file
rpm –ivh CollabNetSubversion-client-1.6.9-1.i386.rpm
* In general, where rpm installs the file is a mystery but Subversion gets
installed in /opt directory
3. Add the following in ./root/bash_profile file
export SVN_HOME=/opt/CollabNet_Subversion
export PATH=$SVN_HOME/bin:$PATH
Good luck!

Just in case you need Yasm installation steps...
Install Yasm on Linux:
1. Download Yasm’s tar.gz file
http://www.tortall.net/projects/yasm/wiki/Download
2. Copy the tar.gz file to parent folder of the folder in which you wish to
install Yasm. For example in usr/local folder
3. Issue the command:
tar -xzvf yasm-1.0.0.tar.gz
4. Yasm will get untarred in folder /usr/local/yasm-1.0.0
5. To configure yasm , go to the installation folder and give the following
command:
./configure
6. Type make to build the nasm and ndisasm binaries
7. Type make install to install them in /usr/local/bin and install the man
pages nasm.1 and ndisasm.1 in /usr/local/man/man1

I followed ur steps....but still it doesm't working. There are some
points that i want to discuss with u.
1. I installed Jdk1.6 update 24.
i installed Ant. After that i installed subversion, but i didnot find
any rpm for my Ubuntu. At the link provided by u there are two options
one is .deb file and another is command : sudo apt-get install
subversion
i went for command.
Problem with this-- the env variables
export PATH=$SVN_HOME/bin:$PATH
installed. How would i solve this.? One more thing u hav mentioned
that set these env var in ./root/bash_profile but this file is empty
in my ubuntu .... Is it fine if i go for ~/.basrc file ?
Next i installed Yasm . I followed upto 6 th step. Then at 7th step i
fire command : sudo make install. In this point u mentioned to
man page for yasm at that location.
Now finally i started installing Xuggler. At this point i downloaded
source code for xuggler as .tar.gz file. untar it. Then i set the env
var.
Question- dont we need to configure this xuggler source code using ./
configure command?
Next i followed further steps... When i fired command sudo ant run-
tests it shows me following error :
command not found -ant
then i installed ant again by switching to xuggle folder sing command:
sudo apt-get install ant
Then i fired command : sudo ant-run-tests
Now the error changed as follows:
harshu@ubuntu:~/xuggle-xuggler$ sudo ant run-tests

My prev mail states what i did at yesterday. After that i again did
all the steps. I formatted my machine. This time i did not installed
java bcoz when i am installing ant using command : sudo apt-get
install ant , then it installs packages for openjdk. Then system
containd multiple java.
All the other steps are as stated in prev mail.
Now this time when i fire command : sudo ant run-tests it build source
code of xuggler successfully.
Then i fired command : sudo ant install
It takes some time and completes with success.
But there is test command given on xuggler installation link :
http://xuggle.wordpress.com/2009/01/23/how-to-install-xuggler-on-linux/
I tried with that but it gives me error : "UnsatisfiedLinkError"
Do you know some solution for this.
Thank u.
