Streaming to Flash Media Server with ffmpeg, crashes on start

I am looking for an alternative to Flash Media Live Encoder for Linux platform because Flash Media Live Encoder not supported on Linux till now it is freely available for "Windows" and "Mac" platform only. I have try to get some live encoder for Linux on Google but no luck. So please if any one know about any good Live encoder for Linux please share with me. I want to setup RTMP live encoder on my Ubuntu Server 64 bit.

I have tried:

1. Publishing rtmp stream directly to your Flash Media Server from Linux with ffmpeg (authentication problem)
2. Re-compiling ffmpeg and all its associated libs with authentication patch for the librtmp as described here. (ffmpeg crashes)
Error: *** glibc detected *** avconv: malloc(): smallbin double linked list corrupted: 0x0000000001dd8b80 ***

Here is my command line:

avconv -i ~/Videos/02\ Your\ Ever\ Well-Wisher/VTS_02_1.mp4 -ar 44100 -f flv 'rtmp://xxxx:xxxxx@xxxxxx.tv/allTemples/HillsboroughNC flashver=FMLE/3.0\20(compatible;\20FMSc/1.0) live=true  playpath=HillsboroughNC app=allTemples/HillsborghNC'

I have read in many places that streaming to Flash Media Server with ffmpeg is supposed to work.

On further investigation, the problem seems to be librtmp, because rtmpdump, another program that uses it also crashes with a segfault.

Oop, maybe not. I guess the real question is how to get past the authentication rejection.
