How to install Mp4Box on 64 bit linux machine ?

What is Mp4Box ?

MP4Box is a MP4 multiplexer. It can import MPEG-4 video, DivX, XviD, 3ivx, h264 etc, audio streams and subtitles into the .mp4 container. The end result is a compliant MP4 stream. It can also extract streams from a .mp4. MP4Box is a command line tool, but can be used with graphical user interfaces such as YAMB or my MP4box GUI.

What is zlib ?

zlib is a software library used for data compression. zlib was written by Jean-Loup Gailly and Mark Adler and is an abstraction of the DEFLATE compression algorithm used in their gzip file compression program.

Note : I got following error message during executing ./configure

-----
./configure: line 1286: /tmp/gpac-conf-14648-9347-16837.o: Permission denied

I had setup another tmp directory for this installation. Just do following :

TEMP_DIR=/home/tmp or any other tmp directory.
