[x264-devel] x264 Install: Cannot Follow Symbolic Link

[Sean McGovern]

You may be missing a system package. I'm not near my machines right now to check which package those files reside in, but Google Is Your Friend(tm).
 Maybe restrict your search with site:oracle.com ?

Hi Sean,

Thanks for the reply.  I believe my paths to be setup correctly.

[quickt at fe43xaab ~/x264]$ echo $PATH
/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:/usr/xpg4/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/sfw/bin:/usr/openwin/bin:/opt/SUNWspro/bin:/usr/ccs/bin
[quickt at fe43xaab ~/x264]$ sudo su
[root at fe43xaab ~/x264]# echo $PATH
/usr/sbin:/usr/bin
[root at fe43xaab ~/x264]#

It seems to be like maybe files its looking for are in fact missing...

[quickt at fe43xaab /usr/lib]$ ls -lt llib-lx*
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     root          23 Nov  7 08:50 llib-lxnet.ln -> ../../lib/llib-lxnet.ln
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     root          20 Nov  7 08:50 llib-lxnet -> ../../lib/llib-lxnet
[quickt at fe43xaab /usr/lib]$ cd ..
[quickt at fe43xaab /usr]$ cd ..
[quickt at fe43xaab /]$ cd lib
[quickt at fe43xaab /lib]$ ls -lt llib-lx*
-rw-r--r--   1 root     bin       247309 Aug  4  2009 llib-lxml2.ln
[quickt at fe43xaab /lib]$

Any help is much appreciated,

slevytam
