Installing pymedia on Ubuntu

Posted by andy gaskell on Jul 9th, 2008

I’ve been trying to install pymedia on a clean install of Ubuntu Hardy Heron and I was wasn’t able to get it to build using the official docs. Fortunately I found a couple of great blog posts. I ended up having to make a couple of changes:

To install the dependencies I used:

sudo apt-get install python-dev libogg-dev libvorbis-dev liblame-dev libfaad-dev libasound2-dev python-pygame

I had to go to /usr/bin and run this as Michael suggests:

ln -s g++-3.4 g++
