[FFmpeg-user] newbie installation bug

[mark edwards]

hello carl - thank you for writing me back.

i should have mentioned right away that i ran totally through the procedure
originally just doing configure/make/make install.

later i went back in and tried to add the 'opus' option when i realized
that opus was not installed by default.

but whats throwing me is that it fails on 'make test', not the make itself.
 the configure and the make seem to finish with no problems, which is
usually the most difficult part.

the libdir command you noted was created out of desperation.  i probably
run through a configure/make procedure every other year and avoid doing it
at all cost  (thank you "yum').
