Then, when you +upgrade to the new package, it doesn't have the included libmp4v2, because +it was part of the old package, so faac is linking to a nonexistent library +after the upgrade. Long story short, we strongly recommend using the +external libmp4v2 (available from SlackBuilds.org); just make sure it is +installed when you configure faac, and it will be detected automatically. + +NOTE: If you have installed faac < 1.26-i486-2_SBo, make sure to remove it +before either installing libmp4v2 or running the new SlackBuild. |
