hi Rich,

The problem is that the ffmpeg library, which librtk uses to make movies,
doesn't build on many platforms (including Solaris), resulting in this error:

I'll put a note on the FAQ about this issue, since several people have
reported it.

The short-term solution is for you to pass '--without-libavcodec' to librtk's
'configure' script before building.  That way ffmpeg won't be built.  Of
course, you won't be able to make movies of Stage simulations.

The long-term solution is for us to either make ffmpeg more portable or select
a different animation library to use.  Stay tuned.

Hi Rich:

The problem appears to be with the ffmpeg package; this is a third-pary
library that is included to do the mpeg movie capture.  As a work-around,
try:

  ./configure --without-libavcodec

You wont get movie capture, but the build shoud work.

    Cheers,

	Andrew
