This guide is pretty simple right now, but its how you install zoneminder 1.23.3 on slackware 12.2.....



1. Install required libraries:
*apache-ant
*ffmpeg
*faad2
*faac
*x264
*xvidcore
get 12.2 packages here
or build them from SlackBuild.org <-- Recommended
mplayer/mencoder is a great tool for a video environment.

2. create /usr/include/ffmpeg/
3. symbolic link /usr/include/libswscale/*.h to /usr/include/ffmpeg/
4. symbolic link /usr/include/libavformat/*.h to /usr/include/ffmpeg/
5. run "cpan PHP::Serialization", then "cpan LWP::UserAgent", and whatever other
   Features you want or the zoneminder config complains about.
6. unpack zoneminder source
7. run
    ./configure --with-webdir=/var/www/htdocs/ --with-cgidir=/srv/httpd/cgi-bin/
8. run
   chown -R mysql /var/lib/mysql (Important for new installs, annoying problem)
9. run
   mysql mysql < db/zm_create.sql
10. run mysql mysql and inside run:
   grant select,insert,update,delete on zm.* to 'zmuser'@localhost identified by 'zmpass';
   quit
11. make && make install
12. edit /etc/httpd/httpd.conf and remove '#' to uncomment the PHP module
13. edit /etc/httpd/php.ini and change short_open_tag value from "Off" to "On"

I wrote this from memory so you can expect some errors, but for the most part its pretty close ;-)
Still haven't used it, but I sure did have fun installing it, so there might be /dev/ permission
problem or something...
