Has anyone managhed to install ffmpeg and libogg successfully?

I spend over 12 hours yesterday trying to get it to work without success. Even live chat couldn't sort it and suggested it may be an error with ffmpeg itself. ffmpeg tell me there is no problem and said it was an install issue.

I am going to have another 'bash' and see if today is the day!

BTW the errors generated (and seem fairly common) are:

Code:

configure: error: ffmpeg headers not found. Make sure ffmpeg is compiled as shared libraries using the --enable-shared option

Code:

 
Unknown option "--enable-libogg".
Makefile:1: config.mak: No such file or directory
libavdevice/Makefile:1: libavdevice/../config.mak: No such file or directory
libavformat/Makefile:1: libavformat/../config.mak: No such file or directory
libavcodec/Makefile:1: libavcodec/../config.mak: No such file or directory
libavutil/Makefile:1: libavutil/../config.mak: No such file or directory

Hi Jon,

ffmpeg and libogg is quite complicated and you won't be able to install both without our support. Please contact our support team and they will get this sorted for you.

And so they did.

I have to say that Phillip, Mike and John were fantastic. I had errors all over the place with lame, libvorbis, ffmpeg-php and they sorted them out.

To top it all i couldn't get phpshield to work and they also sorted that.

What really impressed me was that all the above are 3rd party software so support didn't need to help me with any of it, but they did.

Thanks chaps! really appreciated.

Did exackly the same with mine also

You don't support free installations with windows so I requested to be moved to Linux.
