[Solved] Installing recordmydesktop on Linux
Setting up recordmydesktop on Linux
I had a lot of troubles installing recordmydesktop on CentOS7. There was never-ending dependency chain. Most of the dependencies were not part of CentOS default repos. I had to download few packages manually and install few via yum. Finally, I could successfully install recordmydesktop.
Follow the below article, hope this might help you.
