This is annoying. I've been trying to get motion working correctly on

CentOS 6. First, there was no ffmpeg rpms. Now, I try to install it, and <snip>

I've run into problems with libfaad being missing before. Here's the

I just use rpmforge's and never have issues. It's not always the latest

version, but I've always been able to do everything with it that I need.

*sigh* My manager doesn't want us to use rpmforge (though he'll make an exception, at least for my testing, for kmod-nvidia, and even then, he wants it disabled *except* for updating that).

Don't know if that helps at all, probably doesn't, but the repoforge

ones have always worked well for me, through CentOS 5, and now 6.

Thanks, but not really. I'll also mention that he really, really prefer that we not build except where absolutely necessary (like gspca for the video device).

There's still the question: how can they build the package, if the dependency's not there?
