Thank you for the suggestion! I tried updating homebrew first instead of the yasm part, since that seemed more all-encompassing, and see what happens first. It went fine, then at the end, it read:
==> Migrating /Library/Caches/Homebrew to /Users/emilycollins/Library/Caches/Hom ==> Deleting /Library/Caches/Homebrew... Already up-to-date. Error: Could not link: /usr/local/share/doc/homebrew Please delete these paths and run `brew update`. Error: Could not link: /usr/local/share/man/man1/brew.1 Please delete these paths and run `brew update`. ==> Migrating HOMEBREW_REPOSITORY (please wait)... Error: Could not link: /usr/local/share/doc/homebrew Please delete these paths and run `brew update`. Error: Could not link: /usr/local/share/man/man1/brew.1 Please delete these paths and run `brew update`. ==> Migrated HOMEBREW_REPOSITORY to /usr/local/Homebrew! Homebrew no longer needs to have ownership of /usr/local. If you wish you can return /usr/local to its default ownership with: sudo chown root:wheel /usr/local How do I 'delete these paths'? Should I bother to change ownership? And then I'll try updating again (would the yasm thing also be necessary, then?)... Also, again thanks for pointing out the right commands to use, for someone not familiar navigating Homebrew. -------------------------------------------- On Thu, 9/29/16, [email protected] <[email protected]> wrote: Subject: libav-tools Digest, Vol 63, Issue 8 To: [email protected] Date: Thursday, September 29, 2016, 6:00 AM Send libav-tools mailing list submissions to [email protected] To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit https://lists.libav.org/mailman/listinfo/libav-tools or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to [email protected] You can reach the person managing the list at [email protected] When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than "Re: Contents of libav-tools digest..."

Apologies for the newbie question... I'm not adept with running command lines in my terminal window, but I use the DownloadHelper add-on in Firefox that required getting libav to convert certain video formats. As I have a Mac (OS 10.12), their suggestion was to paste the following line in my terminal window in Homebrew: brew install libav --with-fdk-aac --with-ffplay --with-freetype --with-libass --with-libquvi --with-libvorbis --with-libvpx --with-opus --with-x265 > I did that, and got various errors about tools not being installed and files not being writeable. Found what commands to type to fix it thanks to Google, tried again, and it said it was installing all the necessary libav tools (x264, xvid, libpng, freetype, fdk-). All of them installing up to when it got to libpng, at which point got: > ==> Installing libav dependency: libpng > ==> Downloading > https://downloads.sf.net/project/libpng/libpng16/1.6.16/libpng-1 > > curl: (22) The requested URL returned error: 404 Not Found > Error: Failed to download resource "libpng" > Download failed: > https://downloads.sf.net/project/libpng/libpng16/1.6.16/libpng-1.6.16.tar.xz > > And now I'm not sure what command to give it next to try it again, since it's hard to narrow down the answer in a search, or even know what kind of command I'm looking for, being unfamiliar. Would appreciate any pointers! You might update homebrew since looks like the dependency libpng is pointing to a wrong link. brew update and try again =) lu ------------------------------ Subject: Digest Footer _______________________________________________ libav-tools mailing list [email protected] https://lists.libav.org/mailman/listinfo/libav-tools ------------------------------ End of libav-tools Digest, Vol 63, Issue 8 ****************************************** _______________________________________________ libav-tools mailing list [email protected] https://lists.libav.org/mailman/listinfo/libav-tools
