FFMPEG installed but not found


I'm trying to install pHash , but when I execute ./configure this message is returned:

...

*** Configuring video Hash ***

checking whether FFmpeg is present... checking for avcodec_alloc_frame in -lavcodec... no
configure: error: 

*** libavcodec not found.
You need FFmpeg. Get it at <http://ffmpeg.org/>

But FFMPEG is correctly installed, in fact executing ffmpeg it returns:

ffmpeg version 3.0.2 Copyright (c) 2000-2016 the FFmpeg developers
  built with gcc 4.8 (Ubuntu 4.8.4-2ubuntu1~14.04.1)

usage: ffmpeg [options] [[infile options] -i infile]... {[outfile options] outfile}...

Use -h to get full help or, even better, run 'man ffmpeg'

Why this happens?


Solution

  • Unfortunately, I didn't solve the problem on Ubuntu 15. I installed Ubuntu 16 (which include FFMPEG again) and everything went fine.
