When i doubleclick the downloaded Perian.prefPane file, this pop-up shows up in the System Preferences window:

"Could not install (null) preferences pane."

I tried moving it manually in each of the following folders respectively:

~/Library/PreferencePanes/
/Library/PreferencePanes/

but no luck either. The Preference Pane does not show up in the System Preferences when i reopen it.
I'm on the current version of 10.8.

As an alternative, i tried building from source, but there occured a seperate problem, that probably isn't worth it's own thread since it may be my own fault: there is nothing in the /ffmpeg folder. I made a git clone of the current ffmpeg source and put it there, but to just run "make" in the folder fails like this:

    setenv YACC yacc
    setenv arch i386
    setenv diagnostic_message_length 147
    setenv variant normal
    /bin/sh -c \"/Users/asd/Downloads/perian-1.3.2/perian-1.3.2/build/Perian.build/Release+Debug/FFmpeg\ Static\ Libraries.build/Script-11BA39A70A61E450008AF206.sh\"
Static ffmpeg libs are out-of-date ; rebuilding
Building i386
Unknown option "--disable-avprobe".
See /Users/asd/Downloads/perian-1.3.2/perian-1.3.2/ffmpeg/configure --help for available options.
Command /bin/sh failed with exit code 1

** BUILD FAILED **


The following build commands failed:
    PhaseScriptExecution Run\ Script build/Perian.build/Release+Debug/FFmpeg\ Static\ Libraries.build/Script-11BA39A70A61E450008AF206.sh
(1 failure)
make: *** [perian] Error 65

Did i do something wrong?

As for the second, I use git submodules. After cloning Perian, init the submodules with git submodule init.

For the first problem: I'll look into it.
