I have been following these instructions to install mencoder to my dreamhost server.
http://wiki.dreamhost.com/Mplayer_and_Mencoder
everything seems to be going just fine while following the steps in my SSH prompt, until I reach the part where i am supposed to type “make install”
The wiki says a large amount of code should pour down as its copying files however the only code I see is this:
install -d /home/mysite/bin /home/mysite/etc/mplayer /home/mysite/lib
install -m 755 -s mencoder /home/gostwear/bin
install -d /home/mysite/share/man/man1
install -m 644 DOCS/man/en/mplayer.1 /home/mysite/share/man/man1/
cd /home/mysite/share/man/man1 && ln -sf mplayer.1 mencoder.1
install -m 755 -s mplayer /home/mysite/bin
it looks to me like this is another step not mentioned in the article but I am not sure how to advance. Any help is greatly appreciated!
