When I attempt to install media-video/vlc-0.8.4a-r1 with USE=ffmpeg, the installation fails because Autoconf fails to detect an installation of ffmpeg, even though media-video/ffmpeg-0.4.9_p20060302 is installed. ----- The output of emerge and its child processes ----- configure: error: Could not find ffmpeg on your system: you may get it from http://ffmpeg.sf.net/ (cvs version is recommended). Alternatively you can use --disable-ffmpeg to disable the ffmpeg plugins. !!!
