Now I am installing extension for PHP

using this steps from this http://ffmpeg-php.sourceforge.net/

INSTALLATION

Answer 1

I am not aware of the phpize but the error you are getting is because system is not able to locate the ffmpeg libraries. Just update you commands like this,

./configure --enable-shared --prefix=/home/chintan/out.dir - (change the install directory accordigly)
make
make install - This will install all the libraries in /home/chintan/out.dir/lib directory
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/chintan/out.dir/lib

And do the other required steps where you are getting the error.

If you don't give --prefix argument in configure and execute make install the libraries will be copied in to /lib directory of your system.

Hope this helps.

Run these following commands in SSH

# echo "/usr/local/lib" >> /etc/ld.so.conf
# echo "/usr/lib" >> /etc/ld.so.conf
# ldconfig

Then, try to configure again,
