I'm trying to get ffmpeg running on a Centos 6 machine and it has been uphill the whole way. I thought I had got it but when I go to use ffmpeg I get the error:

ffmpeg: error while loading shared libraries: libswresample.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I looked in /usr/local/lib, which is where all the libraries are stored, and I do not have that exact file but I do have "libswresample.a". I gave up on the official FFMPEG Centos directions due to all kinds of issues and used yum to install.

Where do I find the missing library and can I just put the file in my /usr/local/lib to fix?

Thanks -- have a basic Linux understanding, more familiar with Ubuntu than Centos.

  • have you installed the appropriate package to provide this library? – voretaq7 Oct 19 '12 at 18:33
  • I'm not sure - I installed libtheora, libvorbis, x264, libogg, ffmpeg-devel. Have tried removing and reinstalling each and I can't seem to find out which includes libswresample. It would seem that FFMPEG is supposed to provide it from [this post](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12651816/libswresample-in-recent-ubuntu-version). – sprise Oct 19 '12 at 18:41

A quick search at RPMFIND.net yields ffmpeg-devel.

  • Thanks! I must have uninstalled, I put it back on and this got me past libswresample -- onto the next problem :) – sprise Oct 22 '12 at 17:57

    Although you list the actions they are incomplete by themselves (what to put in the `atrpms.repo` file for instance?) and also please provide the rationale for your steps in your answer instead of just a link. ServerFault is better with [complete answers](http://serverfault.com/help/how-to-answer). Thanks! – HBruijn Feb 12 '15 at 07:21
