thanks; that may help others, who are using the same distribution as you
are.

The *new* ffmpeg style is to have them in subfolders:
 $ ls /usr/include/ffmpeg/
libavcodec  libavformat  libavutil  libswscale

The proper way would be to use
 #include <libavcodec/avcodec.h>
instead of
 #include <avcodec.h>
in the sources. However xjadeo has some history and supports various
"ffmpeg snapshots" made by various distributions from CCRMA, SuSE,
debian-multimedia, marrilat, etc - cleaning this up is no fun.
Given that I work on (and with) xjadeo's successor for about half a year
now the chances that it'll get fixed are rather slim. (besides: your
trick would no longer work)

If you install the latest ffmpeg (r16370) to /usr/ - xjadeo's
./configure script will automatically pick it up via pkginfo.

You can also set the PKG_CONFIG_PATH env variable to where you installed
ffmpeg before compiling (and LD_CONFIG_PATH or /etc/ld.so.conf before
running) xjadeo. - If that does not work it's worth fixing.

cheers,
robin
