Hi.
I received an error when compiling VLC 0.9.9a on Ubuntu 8.10.

...
MAKE     : avcodec
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [all] Error 2

I'm not sure what logs are required so I will upload anything that helps in troubleshooting.
I compiled and installed my own deb of ffmpeg and I think that may have something to do with it. How do I check everything is in order?

Thank you for any help,

Adam
