If downgrading from the bleeding-edge x265-20240812 (it had been mistakenly used in the BLFS development book for several days), remove the shared library from x265-20240812 as the &root; user: rm -fv /usr/lib/libx265.so.212 This is for preventing ldconfig from recreating the symlink libx265.so with the target /usr/lib/libx265.so.212 which seems to be a newer version of libx265.so.209 from x265-3.6. To install the package, first remove any old library versions. After installation, remove a static library. As the &root; user: make install && rm -vf /usr/lib/libx265.a -W no-dev: This switch is used to suppress warnings intended for the package developers. rm -vf /usr/lib/libx265.a: BLFS does not recommend using static libraries.
