Can you help me?

I try to install a ffmpeg using a brew, but i can’t.

It seems like the dependencies was successfully installed.

I am using a Mac OSX 10.7.2 and the XCode 4.2.1.

I couldn’t install ffmpeg.

I’ve tried:

brew install ffmpeg
brew install --use-clang ffmpeg
brew install --use-clang --HEAD ffmpeg

And they’ve all failed.

This is the result log.

$ brew install --use-clang ffmpeg
==> Downloading http://ffmpeg.org/releases/ffmpeg-0.9.1.tar.bz2

If you think configure made a mistake, make sure you are using the latest
version from Git.  If the latest version fails, report the problem to the
ffmpeg-user@ffmpeg.org mailing list or IRC #ffmpeg on irc.freenode.net.
Include the log file "config.log" produced by configure as this will help
solving the problem.

We couldn't detect gcc 4.2.x. Some formulae require this compiler.
NOTE: Versions of XCode newer than 4.2 don't include gcc 4.2.x.

==> /usr/bin occurs before /usr/local/bin
This means that system-provided programs will be used instead of those
provided by Homebrew. This is an issue if you eg. brew installed Python.

Consider editing your .bashrc to put:
  /usr/local/bin
ahead of /usr/bin in your PATH.
Some brews install binaries to sbin instead of bin, but Homebrew's
sbin was not found in your path.

Consider editing your .bashrc to add:
  /usr/local/sbin
to the PATH variable.

Some "config" scripts were found in your path, but not in system or Homebrew folders.

`./configure` scripts often look for *-config scripts to determine if software packages
are installed, and what additional flags to use when compiling and linking.

Having additional scripts in your path can confuse software installed via Homebrew if
the config script overrides a system or Homebrew provided script of the same name.

    I installed without using the brew.

    I installed manually the x264 and then I installed ffmpeg.

    I had a little help from this site:
