Hope someone can help me get ffmpeg and vlc installed, heres the
problems I'm having:

I downloaded ffmpeg-0.4.9-pre1 and vlc-0.8.1 then extracted them to:

/video/extra/ffmpeg-0.4.9-pre1
/video/extra/vlc-0.8.1

I then cd into the /video/extra/ffmpeg-0.4.9-pre1 directory and run:
./configure --disable-x11 --disable-xvideo --disable-gtk --disable-sdl
--enable-ffmpeg --with-ffmpeg-mp3lame --with-ffmpeg-faac
--with-ffmpeg-zlib --enable-mad --enable-libdvbpsi --enable-a52
--disable-dvdplay --enable-dvdnav --enable-vorbis --enable-ogg
--enable-theora --enable-mkv --enable-freetype --disable-cddax
--disable-vcdx --enable-speex --enable-flac --enable-goom
--enable-livedotcom --enable-caca --disable-skins2 --enable-modplug
--enable-debug --enable-gpl --enable-mp3lame --enable-pp
--enable-shared-pp

Giving the following output:
Install prefix   /usr/local
Source path      /video/extra/ffmpeg-0.4.9-pre1
C compiler       gcc
make             make

gprof enabled    no
zlib enabled     yes
mp3lame enabled  yes
vorbis enabled   yes
faad enabled     no
faadbin enabled  no
faac enabled     no
a52 support      yes
a52 dlopened     no
pp support       yes
debug symbols    yes

shared pp        yes
Video hooking    yes
SDL support      yes
risky / patent encumbered codecs yes
Imlib2 support   yes
freetype support yes
Sun medialib support no
pthreads support no
AMR-NB float support no
AMR-NB fixed support no
AMR-WB float support no

Then I did make and make install.

Next I cd in to the /video/extra/vlc-0.8.1 directory and run the same
./config line listed above, this errors saying:

checking for ffmpeg-config... no
checking ffmpeg/avcodec.h usability... no
checking ffmpeg/avcodec.h presence... no
checking for ffmpeg/avcodec.h... no
configure: error: Missing header file ffmpeg/avcodec.h.

So I rerun it with the following option appended to the end:
--with-ffmpeg-tree=/video/extra/ffmpeg-0.4.9-pre1/

This time I get a different error:
checking for ffmpeg-config... no
checking for libavcodec.a in /video/extra/ffmpeg-0.4.9-pre1/... no
configure: error:
/video/extra/ffmpeg-0.4.9-pre1/libavcodec/libavcodec.a was not
compiled with postprocessing support, make sure you configured ffmpeg
with --enable-pp

If you look above where I ran configure for ffmpeg it shows I ran it
with --enable-pp, what am I doing wrong?
