ffmpeg dyld: Library not loaded: /usr/local/lib/libmp3lame.0.dylib

Question

I am getting this error when running ffmpeg on OSX Yosemite 10.10.2

ffmpeg
dyld: Library not loaded: /usr/local/lib/libmp3lame.0.dylib
  Referenced from: /usr/local/bin/ffmpeg
  Reason: image not found
Trace/BPT trap: 5

How do I install / compile libmp3lame.0.dylib ? ffmpeg was installed using homebrew

Solution

I resolved this by running the following commands in terminal (I use the package manager homebrew for managing Unix based tools under OSX)

brew uninstall lame
brew install lame
sudo brew link lame

You should not need sudo for this and Homebrew should have refused to work with sudo. I think the linking step isn't even required.

brew uninstall lame failed because I already had ffmpeg installed. It told me I had to do brew uninstall --ignore-dependencies lame which I did, and then brew install lame and it worked fine. I did not need to use sudo.
