I have ros indigo installed on ubuntu 14.04. When I run the command

rosrun image_view image_view image:=/cam1/image_raw

I get the error

/opt/ros/indigo/lib/image_view/image_view: error while loading shared libraries: libavcodec.so.53: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

How do I get past this ?

It looks like image_view is trying to load an old library. Are you sure all of your packages are up to date?

Try:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

I had to manually install the various codec files. Used the solution given here

It works fine now.

That is wrong. You should NEVER have to manually install libraries that a binary ROS package depends on. It indicates that either your apt sources are set up incorrectly, your packages are out of date, or there's a bug in image_view.

Did you try to do a dist-upgrade before installing packages manually?

Yes. I tried dist-upgrade but that didn't help. I am pretty sure the problem isn't with ROS, since I niticed that opencv had also begun to show the same error.
