I compiled it myself

 (m_pd.h used for compilation of Gem belongs to Pd-binary used)

what does ABI mean? I'm pretty sure it's not any of these:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ABI...
(you'll excuse my ignorance in this and some of what follows...)

well, when i run ./configure in GEM, it tells me:

use mpeg-3 : yes
use quicktime : yes
use ffmpeg : yes

So doesn't this imply they are linked? I didn't have this libraries on this
computer before, so they are brand new.

Actually, I could do without it, but I don't know how to get rid of it... is
there a nice command like uninstall ffmpeg? I installed it via-yum with
freshrpms or a similar repo... I imagine i could do without mpeg3 to.

to read mp4s i just need quicktime right?

Ok, so I got his errors:

make[1]: Entering directory `/home/joliverl/Desktop/Gem/src/Pixes'
In file included from pix_filmNEW.cpp:28:
../Pixes/filmFFMPEG.h:23:22: error: avformat.h: No such file or directory
../Pixes/filmFFMPEG.h:24:21: error: avcodec.h: No such file or directory
In file included from pix_filmNEW.cpp:30:
../Pixes/filmMPEG3.h:22:22: error: libmpeg3.h: No such file or directory

../Pixes/filmFFMPEG.h:23:22: error: avformat.h: No such file or directory
../Pixes/filmFFMPEG.h:24:21: error: avcodec.h: No such file or directory

so there seems to be problems both with mpeg3 and ffmpeg, is this what you
mean by linking them?
