Linux :(

First off, i'll apologize if this is in the incorrect spot, i've searched forever and couldn't find a pretty spot for it. Although that doesn't mean much

My problem is that of FFmpeg], and trying to get it to work vai terminal . to show you were i'm at when i run "ffmpeg" to test if it's working i get this error:
ffmpeg: error while loading shared libraries: libavdevice.so.52:
cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory.

and when i check to see if it exsist i get this as an output:
/usr/local/lib/libavdevice.so.52
/usr/local/lib/libavdevice.so.52.2.0
/root/ffmpeg/ffmpeg/libavdevice/libavdevice.so.52

I'm very new to linux's terminal, so to get this far is amazing for me but now i don't know what to do. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Once again,
Sorry if this is in the wrong spot

This happens try to install ffmpeg using yum

yum install ffmpeg

 

Thanks for the reply! and this doens't help however, it's after i did that, that gave me the error. FFmpeg is installed, just not working. Something was also said about dependency problems too?

 

copy libavdevice.so.52 to the following dirs:
/usr/lib
/lib

 

Thanks man, this is what i thought had to be done. The only problem is, is that i do now know how to go about this. This is my first experience with linux's terminal. By any chance can you tell me what the commands are to:

1) Navigate through directories
2) Copy files
3) create new files (or paste)

Or whatever it is i'll need to do this. Thanks a lot, its really appreciated!
