[GRASSLIST:5721] Re: mpeg_encode: can't load dynamic linker

[Jachym Cepicky]

so,
there was an bug (I suppose so) in mpeg_encode source. Now it runs. I have
reported to author, but the source code is from 29.11.1995, so I don't know, if anyone
will read it.

For those of you, who want to compile mpeg_encode:

1) download the file mpeg_encode-1.5b-patched-src.tar.gz from
    ftp://mm-ftp.cs.berkeley.edu/pub/multimedia/mpeg/encode/ 

2) edit the file libpnmrw.c, comment the line no. 129 out
    /*extern char* sys_errlist[];*/                      

3) run "make", it worked by me.
