FFmpeg install detailed procedure: We took http://www.austenconstable.com/2008/08/06/howto-compiling-the-latest-ffmpeg-x264-on-centos-4/ as reference <br> 1. add repository: 
<pre>rpm -Uhv http://apt.sw.be/redhat/el5/en/x86_64/rpmforge/RPMS//rpmforge-release-0.3.6-1.el5.rf.x86_64.rpm"</pre> 
2. 
<pre>yum update</pre> 
Note: This procedure is not required.<br>
3. 
<pre>yum remove ffmpeg x264 faad2 faad2-devel</pre> 
4. 
<pre>yum install gcc gcc-c++ automake autoconf libtool yasm git subversion</pre> 
If subversion has problems in install, then just install the rest. <br>
5. 
<pre>yum install zlib-devel libmad-devel libvorbis-devel libtheora-devel lame-devel faac-devel a52dec-devel xvidcore-devel freetype-devel</pre> 
6. Compile &amp; Install faad2<br> 
<pre>cd ~
wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/faac/faad2-2.6.1.tar.gz
tar xzvf faad2-2.6.1.tar.gz
cd faad2
autoreconf -vif   
./configure
make
make install
</pre> 
7.&nbsp;Compile &amp; Install GPAC 
<pre>cd ~
wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/gpac/gpac-0.4.4.tar.gz
tar -xzvf gpac-0.4.4.tar.gz
cd gpac
./configure
make
make install
make install-lib
</pre> 
Note: the compile will probably cause an osmozilla related error (osmozilla.h:175: error: Ã¢resultÃ¢ does not name a type). 

Solution:&nbsp;edit applications/Makefile and comment out the following lines: 

&nbsp; &nbsp; #INSTDIRS+=osmozilla<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; #APPDIRS+=osmozilla 

I just removed osmozilla part in Makefile (details will be added later)<br>
8.<pre>echo '/usr/local/lib/' &gt; /etc/ld.so.conf.d/gapc-1386.conf
