How to install MP4Box

[Rsync]

Install MP4Box

MP4Box is a MP4 multiplexer and used for conversion, splitting, hinting, dumping and to import MPEG-4 video, DivX, h264, XviD, 3ivx or FFmpeg and audio streams into the .MP4 container. The end result is a compliant MP4 stream.
MP4Box is part of the GPAC Project framework. It is a command line tool, but can be used with graphical user interfaces such as YAMB or my MP4box GUI.

Getting following error after installation of MP4Box.

MP4Box did not find libgpac.so
