I cannot install ffmpegx

[Robert86]

I have been trying to install this application for about a week now but I have not had any luck with it........

what happens is when I try to install the 3 extra files you need to download I get an error message and this is it:



the thing is I'm able to run the older versons but not this one and I really need this application to do what I want


I am running OS 10.3

so any help would be great

thanks

Apparently your OSX is missing some stuff, including the gzip system software. Download it from http://homepage.mac.com/major4/gzip.zip unzip it by clicking it twice, and put it into /usr/bin.

[Robert86]

the link does not work, do you know where I can get these files?

[major]

Try the link again now.

[Robert86]

it has downloaded, i'm sorry but I now don't know where to put the file

sorry for the hassle

[major]

You have to put it in /usr/bin which is a system hidden directory. Proceed as follows,

1/ Put gzip on your desktop
2/ Open Terminal.app from /Applications/Utilities
3/ Copy/paste the following command sudo cp ~/Desktop/gzip /usr/bin/gzip
4/ Hit the return key and, when asked, type blindly your OSX password and hit return again. Done.
