Lucian,

I performed the rpm install of ffmpeg after moving the directories and
files related to the previous ffmpeg install and everything went fine.

When I tried to complie Zoneminder 1.23 or 1.24 I get the following
error:

zm_mpeg.cpp:325: error: ‘img_convert’ was not declared in this scope
make[2]: *** [zm_mpeg.o] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/root/software/zm/ZoneMinder-1.24.2/src'
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/software/zm/ZoneMinder-1.24.2'
make: *** [all] Error 2

any ideas?
