I tried posting in the bugs forum, but I wasn't really getting an answer...
When I tried installing ffmpegX onto Leopard, I downloaded the necessary files, pasted them on my desktop, but when I tried to install, I got an error saying:
##sh: -c: line 0: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `''
sh: -c: line 1: syntax error: unexpected end of file
Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks for your help!

I had exactly the same message as the above post (WARNING: Improper use of the SUDO...). I tried putting the binaries on the desktop as suggested in another posting, but got the same result. Then I remembered a similar problem I had a couple of years ago with another program. The solution was to add a password to my user account (I was not using a password), run the install, then remove the password. This was successful, everything installed normally.
