Hello,

I have a VPS account at viaverio and am trying to install ffmpeg on my
server.

[jfl at 28amen ~]$ uname -a
FreeBSD 28amen.org 6.3-RELEASE FreeBSD 6.3-RELEASE #6: Wed Oct 21
09:32:42 MDT 2009     root at fc:/usr/src/sys/i386/compile/VKERN  i386

I realize that that is an old version of FreeBSD, but there is nothing I
can do about that.

I tried

 sudo portinstall ffmpeg

but after a long time downloading and compiling various packages it ends
with

 ** Listing the failed packages (-:ignored / *:skipped / !:failed)
	! math/mpfr	(unknown build error)
	* devel/binutils
	* multimedia/x264
	* multimedia/ffmpeg-devel
	* multimedia/ffmpeg

Viaverio support suggested that I

 cd /ports/multimedia/ffmpeg
 make install & make clean

But...

[jfl at 28amen ~]$ cd /ports/multimedia/ffmpeg
[jfl at 28amen /ports/multimedia/ffmpeg]$ sudo make install

      You may wish to ``make deinstall'' and install this port again
      by ``make reinstall'' to upgrade it properly.
      If you really wish to overwrite the old port of archivers/xz
      without deleting it first, set the variable "FORCE_PKG_REGISTER"
      in your environment or the "make install" command line.

Stop in /ports/archivers/xz.

I really need ffmpeg and hope that I can get some help here.

Thanks.
