Building Media SDK for Ubuntu 18.04.1 Server

Hi,

I've been trying to install the Media SDK on a Ubuntu 18.04.1 machine without any luck.

uname -a

Linux 4.15.0-44-generic #47-Ubuntu SMP Mon Jan 14 11:26:59 UTC 2019 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

cat /proc/cpuinfo

Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E3-1225 v5 @ 3.30GHz

So without touching the machine after a fresh install I SSH to it and run my script. The script is divided into two phases with a reboot after the first script.(the scripts are included in the zip file )->

#!/bin/bash
set -e

#Ensure the platform is up to date
sudo apt update && sudo apt -y upgrade && sudo apt -y dist-upgrade

#Install baseline dependencies first (inclusive of OpenCL headers+)
sudo apt-get -y install autoconf automake build-essential libass-dev libtool pkg-config texinfo zlib1g-dev libva-dev cmake mercurial libdrm-dev libvorbis-dev libogg-dev git libx11-dev libperl-dev libpciaccess-dev libpciaccess0 xorg-dev intel-gpu-tools opencl-headers libwayland-dev xutils-dev ocl-icd-*

#Add the Oibaf PPA, needed to install the latest development headers for libva:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:oibaf/graphics-drivers -y
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -y upgrade && sudo apt-get -y dist-upgrade

#To address linker problems down the line with Ubuntu 18.04LTS:

if [ -f /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libGLX_mesa.so ]; then
   sudo rm /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libGLX_mesa.so
fi
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libGLX_mesa.so.0 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libGLX_mesa.so

#reboot
echo 
echo "Reboot system by typing -> sudo reboot now ***"

Then after the reboot this script is executed ->

#!/bin/bash
set -e

sudo echo #to avoid the break at sudo make install
cd ~/vaapi
git clone https://github.com/Intel-Media-SDK/MediaSDK msdk
cd msdk
mkdir build && cd build
cmake -DENABLE_OPENCL=OFF ..
make
sudo make install

Everything compiles and installs however when trying to decode using the included sample decoder.. I get this Error->

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/intel/mediasdk/lib /opt/intel/mediasdk/share/mfx/samples/sample_decode h264 -i myVideo2.nal -o out.yuv

[ERROR], sts=MFX_ERR_MEMORY_ALLOC(-4), CreateAllocator, CreateHWDevice failed at /home/netinsight/vaapi/msdk/samples/sample_decode/src/pipeline_decode.cpp:1282

[ERROR], sts=MFX_ERR_MEMORY_ALLOC(-4), Init, CreateAllocator failed at /home/netinsight/vaapi/msdk/samples/sample_decode/src/pipeline_decode.cpp:425

[ERROR], sts=MFX_ERR_MEMORY_ALLOC(-4), main, Pipeline.Init failed at /home/netinsight/vaapi/msdk/samples/sample_decode/src/sample_decode.cpp:676

So obviously the Media SDK is not working as expected. Has anyone successfully installed the Media SDK on a Ubuntu 18.04.1? What am I doing wrong?

Thanks for any assistance.
