while installing ffmpeg on my centos server.I get this error while running ./configure: checking for ffmpeg headers... configure: error: ffmpeg headers not found. Make sure ffmpeg is compiled as shared libraries using the --enable-shared option

cd /usr/local/src 
wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/ffmpeg-php/ffmpeg-php/0.6.0/ffmpeg-php-0.6.0.tbz2?use_mirror=nchc 
tar -xjf ffmpeg-php-0.6.0.tbz2 
phpize 
./configure 
make make

    Are you compiling `ffmpeg` or something else that uses the `ffmpeg` libs. Because it looks to me like you are doing the latter. Post some details, full commands, console output. – aergistal Oct 01 '15 at 14:45
  • i am compiling ffmpeg..pls look my edited code – Sandeep Nambiar Oct 01 '15 at 14:52
  • No, that's the ffmpeg extension for `php` which uses `ffmpeg`. You need to do a `yum install ffmpeg-devel` if you really want to compile the extension... – aergistal Oct 01 '15 at 14:56

    That iteration of "php-ffmpeg" is long dead and will not work with any supported version of ffmpeg. See the [ffmpeg-php tag](http://stackoverflow.com/tags/ffmpeg-php/info) and [FFmpeg Wiki: PHP](https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/PHP) for more info. – llogan Oct 01 '15 at 15:59

Try using ffmpeg auto installer, you need to dounload a package with required plugins, its free, you can refer this link for demo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EaaT7vj8K2s

Here you will get complete installation package http://ffmpeginstaller.com/

It will take around 30 mins for complete installation, you just need to keep an eye on command prompt.

You can Install FFMPEG on CENTOS by just Downloading rpm package of ffmpeg from ffmpeg.org and place at a particular location in ur Centos Server. by Configuring the binary you can easily use ffmpeg commands. Hope this Will help you :)

I hope this helps.

If ever you're trying to install ffmpeg to CENTOS 7, you might want to try this since this is what I did since I have a unsolvable problems with my packages.

Download compressed ffmpeg and extract it to the server: https://www.johnvansickle.com/ffmpeg/ in this case I used ffmpeg-git-amd64-static.tar.xz.

  1. Extract the xz file. cmd: tar -xf filename.tar.xz
  2. Extract the tar file if it's still in tar file. cmd: tar -xvf filename.tar
  3. Go to the extracted file’s directory.
  4. You must see these files under the folderenter image description here
  5. Try the command ./ffmpeg -versionenter image description here
  6. Add it to the environment variable so that you can use the ffmpeg globally. Assuming that the ffmpeg main folder is contained in usr/ffmpeg, get the original PATH value using the command: echo $PATH , copy the original path value add it with the path of the ffmpeg directory (e.g. :usr/ffmpeg) and add it to the PATH environment variable with the command: export PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/root/bin:/usr/ffmpeg
  7. You should be able to use the ffmpeg command now with cmd: ffmpeg -versionenter image description here
  8. Try to convert files now example: cmd: ffmpeg -i input.webm output.mp4 and it should all work now.
