installing ffmpegx' binaries | ##/bin/sh: line 1: 5146 Illegal instruction

[veranyon]

version of one - 0.0.9x (0.0.9y)
mac os x Leopard

My problem:
I'm running that program. The program invites me to install additional binaries (mpeg2enc, mencoder, mplayer). I pump these files and point the location in that program. prescribe sudo password and click here to install that.

and:

The installation was not successful.

##/bin/sh: line 1: 5229 Illegal instruction sudo /Applications/ffmpegX.app/Contents/Resources/gnutar zxopf '/Applications/ffmpegX.app/Contents/Resources/mux.tgz'



What is the problem? somebody knows what is it.

[Case]

What is happening:
In the line mentioned, the installer tries to create an (invisible) folder ".spumux" in your home directory, with fonts that can be used for subtitling. The content for that new folder comes stored in "mux.tgz", and the installer tries to decompress it with "gnutar", using the options "zxopf". "z" makes it use "gzip" / "ungzip"; "x" makes it extract from the archive; "o" is for old style archives; "p" keeps the permissions same as in the archive; "f" says the archive is a (local) file.

Why it failed:
Possibly you already have a different folder ".spumux" in your home directory.
Possibly that folder / those files are in use and cannot be written to.
Possibly that folder is locked for some other reason.
Possibly you have found ".spumux" in the past and changed it somehow without knowing ffmpegX needed it.
Possibly your system does not have "gzip" because Mac OS was installed without the BSD subsystem.

How to fix it:
- Remove any old folder ".spumux". In the Terminal, type "ls -a". You should get a list of all items in your home directory, including invisibles (e.g. those that start with a dot). Type "mv .spumux spumux" to move (rename) .spumux and content to spumux, making the folder visible, so you can delete it.
- Check if your OS has gzip, by typing "gzip -h" in the Terminal. If you get a few lines of basic help on gzip, then you have gzip, and gzip is not the cause of the installation failure.
- Run the ffmpegX binaries installer, and install at least one of the binaries (don't forget the checkboxes!). ".spumux" will be (re-)created too.
