I have found the solution on another site:-

==============================================

If you get the following error when running the command make to compile FFmpeg:

make: *** [ffmpeg_frame.lo] Error 1

In the version 0.6.0 of ffmpeg-php you will need to modify the file: ffmpeg_frame.c and replace every instance of PIX_FMT_RGBA32 with PIX_FMT_RGB32

Using Linux text editor, vi run the following commands:

# vi ffmpeg_frame.c

:%s/PIX_FMT_RGBA32/PIX_FMT_RGB32
:wq!

It’s been a couple of years since I’ve written this guide, so things may have changed since I last did this.

Digging around a bit on your messages, it looks like either the ffmpeg or ffmpeg-devel package haven’t been installed or weren’t installed properly. Go back and make sure that those two packages are installed and are functional.

If everything looks good with those packages, I’m sorry to say that I really don’t know what the problem would be.

Hi Chris, the GPG call you list in this article did not work for me. I went to Dag Wieer’s site a found the current URL.

It should read…

rpm –import http://apt.sw.be/RPM-GPG-KEY.dag.txt

Thank you for your help. It allowed me to install FFmpeg and I am very grateful.
