I am writing a RightScript to install OpenCV-2.3.1 on a linux server.
I am using FFMPEG package: ffmpeg-0.7-rc1

I am doing exactly whatever I did while installing it manually on the server, but am getting some errors when I try booting the box using the rightscripts. OpenCV installs and works fine when built manually through bash.

The errors I am getting are:

I did a google search and I understand that some of the FFMPEG functions are deprecated now. I have tried installing the latest FFMPEG package as well, and I am getting the same errors. Also, I am wondering why I don’t get these errors when I install it manually on the server via bash, and only when I install using Rightscripts.

    Using FFMPEG package ffmpeg-0.8 solves the issue. It works fine with OpenCV-2.3.1
    There has been a number of recent fixes to FFMPEG that is giving rise to some clashes. ffmpeg-0.8 is stable and works fine.
