phpfox help. FFMpeg and FFMpeg-php

i have phpfox installed on my site, however i get the folllowing error:
Missing class "ffmpeg_movie". Please make sure FFMpeg and FFMpeg-php is properly installed
i tried installing from this article at
http://wiki.dreamhost.com/Php-ffmpeg

but i get the following error and cannot install this: Please help..
The error is as follows:

[electra]$ cd ~/ffmpeg/ffmpeg-php-0.5.0
-bash: cd: /home/eao/ffmpeg/ffmpeg-php-0.5.0: No such file or directory
[electra]$ phpize
Cannot find config.m4.
Make sure that you run '/usr/local/bin/phpize' in the top level source directory of the module

[electra]$ ./configure
-bash: ./configure: No such file or directory
[electra]$ make
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.
[electra]$ make install
make: *** No rule to make target `install'. Stop.

An ffmpeg directory probably doesn't exist unless you manually set it up. The instructions in the Wiki don't mention creating an ffmpeg directory in $HOME, but then say to cd into it. Maybe that's where your problems begin.

Try just cd ~/ffmpeg-php-0.5.0 and then ls to see if config.m4 is there.

i get to phpize but his is what i get:

[electra]$ phpize
Configuring for:
PHP Api Version: 20020918
Zend Module Api No: 20020429
Zend Extension Api No: 20050606
Cannot find autoconf. Please check your autoconf installation and the $PHP_AUTOCONF
environment variable is set correctly and then rerun this script.
..how do i go about installing autoconf..

I'm having the same problem today with the "Cannot find autoconf". Were you able to resolve this yet?

why does it say permission denied..

It's either trying to alter files outside your environment or the double slash is upsetting it.

Are you using ./configure --prefix=$HOME ?
