libavformat53

[joshuajnoble]

For various reasons (mostly to use a toolkit that I love) I need to be able to install libavformat53 but can't seem to find it anywhere friendly. I understand it's from "Sid" and so might be breaking things and not completely available, should I wait or is there a way to get this set aside somewhere safe so that I link my makefiles to this one lib without messing with the rest of my system? Thanks!

Already is in the Mint repo. Not really sure why you cannot find it anywhere.

Well, running apt-cache policy I get:

Code: Select all

apt-cache policy libavformat53
N: Ignoring file 'google-chrome.list.save' in directory '/etc/apt/sources.list.d/' as it has an invalid filename extension
N: Ignoring file 'cb-nightly.list.save' in directory '/etc/apt/sources.list.d/' as it has an invalid filename extension
N: Ignoring file 'wx.list.save' in directory '/etc/apt/sources.list.d/' as it has an invalid filename extension
N: Unable to locate package libavformat53


I'll try to update my sources and see what I can figure out.

and all is well. Not sure how it got screwed up
