uäh ! which system are you using ? header-files should go into /usr/include and libraries to /usr/lib i wouldn't recommend breaking this by hand (by installing libraries into /usr/include) on debian-systems you should never ever install something by hand to places other than /usr/local/... (or your home-directory, of course) other distros may have other (less strong) conventions, but i do not think, that anyone will install a library into /usr/include
/ configure still says: "checking for quicktime_open in -lquicktime... no" My gem source is at
well, the configure checks, whether the actual library-file libquicktime.so (or *.a, i don't know which) supports a function "quicktime_open". if not, i do not know how to open quicktime-files and therefore quicktime-support is supressed.
the quicktime library-file is searched in the standard-path (/usr/lib !) only. maybe you have to add your path to the /etc/ld.so.conf and rundldconfig first.
i heavily suggest using installation-packages (*.rpm, *.deb) for installing libraries. if you cannot find a needed package for your favourite distro, try using http://rpmfind.net/
Heroine Warrior http://heroines.sourceforge.net/quicktime.php3 no longer supports quicktime4linux or libmpeg3 .
this is bad news.
