Completing ffmpeg installation
Hello.

i am new to unix, though have quite a substantial background of other systems.
i recently installed ffmpeg and mencoder on a unix server, which holds a website, in order to use these programs from the website.

after installation, i can activate both commands directly using putty,
no matter what my current working library is.
but, when i try to run it from the website (i have a php script that uses exec('ffmprg ..')) i get the following message in the apache error log:

sh: /ffmpeg: No such file or directory

the program was installed in usr/local/lib. does this mean it can function only for the user who installed it? how do i make it accessible to all users?
also, why is the '/' coming before the 'ffmpeg' in the message? (it is not written in the script). does this have any relation to the problem?
i've been fighting with this for hours now, and i am sure it's a stupid newbie mistake. please help me.

libgphoto2_port

LIBGPHOTO2_PORT(3)					  The gPhoto2 Reference (the man					LIBGPHOTO2_PORT(3)

NAME

       libgphoto2_port - cross-platform port access library

SYNOPSIS

       #include <gphoto2/gphoto2_port.h>

DESCRIPTION

       The libgphoto2_port library was written to provide libgphoto2(3) with a generic way of accessing ports. In this function, libgphoto2_port
       is the successor of the libgpio library.

       Currently, libgphoto2_port supports serial (RS-232) and USB connections, the latter requiring libusb to be installed.

       The autogenerated API docs will be added here in the future.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

       IOLIBS If set, defines the directory where the libgphoto2_port library looks for its I/O drivers (iolibs). You only need to set this on
	      OS/2 systems and broken/test installations.

       LD_DEBUG
	      Set this to all to receive lots of debug information regarding library loading on ld based systems.

       USB_DEBUG
	      If set, defines the numeric debug level with which the libusb library will print messages. In order to get some debug output, set it
	      to 1.
