Any ideas why/what is happening?

I have v138 instead of 144.  I get

nm -D /usr/lib64/libx264.so.138 | grep x264_encoder_open
000000000008e5e0 T x264_encoder_open_138


If you lib doesn't have the symbol, then I'd say the lib is broken.  If it does, you might check to see what library the linker is trying to actually use.  You'll need to invoke two of the commands manually

You can change the path for the CheckFunctionExists.c.o to some temporary location if needed.

If you can reproduce the problem, the try adding "-Wl,--verbose" to the second commandline.  It prints a lot, but look for bits about libx264

Warning: careful on production computer: plenty of stuff could get broken in video department! Uninstall packages and so on!
If issues try avconv, if problems you need probably to reinstall libx264-dev avconv

Probably need to un-install previously installed x264.

Get x264:

Code Select Expand

git clone git://git.videolan.org/x264.git
Update x264:

Code Select Expand

cd ~/x264
git pull
Build x264:

Code Select Expand

cd ~/x264
./configure  --prefix="/usr" --bindir="/usr/local/bin" --libdir="/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/" --enable-static --enable-shared
make -j4
