xine-lib-1.1.2_pre20060328-r1 fails the configure phase of compiling, with: --- 8< --- configure: error: External ffmpeg library not found. ********************************************************************* You can try to specify prefix of ffmpeg library by the option --with-external-ffmpeg=prefix, or to specify custom FFMPEG_CPPFLAGS and FFMPEG_LIBS. If you would like to use the internal ffmpeg, please remove the configure option --with-external-ffmpeg. ********************************************************************* --- 8< --- FFmpeg version 0.4.9_p20051216 *is* installed.
