Hi Iohannes, yes, now it is working. I installed avifile-dev, as well as libquicktime-devel, and it is now able to read both the .avi and .mov files. Now I can start play for real :-)

Here's attacched the output of the configure. I had to uninstall libmpeg3-devel because it was giving a file not found for libmpeg3.h.

Hi all,

I suppose I have to bind the compilation with some codec library in my system, but which and how?

correct. you have to have libavifile-dev (here it is: libavifile-0.7-dev; it might be something like avifile-devel on a fedora machine) installed at configure-/compile-/run-time.

Gem's configure will automatically detect the presence of this library and use it at compilation time.
