Problems after upgrade ffmpeg to the new version.

Question

Hello. I have faced a problem. Through an auto update, the operating system has refreshed a package ffmpeg to the version 0.4.9.15594svn-20081010.pm.2143. As a result working motion began to create video files which cannot be displayed. I have tried to recompile again motion, but unsuccessfully. There is such error of compilation:

ffmpeg.c:167: error: expected ‘=’, ‘,’, ‘;’, ‘asm’ or ‘__attribute__’ before ‘file_seek’ ffmpeg.c:185: error: ‘file_seek’ undeclared here (not in a function) ffmpeg.c:187: warning: missing initializer ffmpeg.c:187: warning: (near initialization for ‘file_protocol.next’) make: * [ffmpeg.o] Error 1

I have corrected a code in ffmpeg.c

//static offset_t file_seek(URLContext *h, offset_t pos, int whence) static int64_t file_seek(URLContext *h, int64_t pos, int whence)

motion it is compiled without errors, but did not begin to work.

only ffmpeg.c:187: warning: missing initializer ffmpeg.c:187: warning: (near initialization for ‘file_protocol.next’)

I am not strong in programming ffmpeg and I do not have possibility to be rolled away back on the old version ffmpeg. Motion has deeply entered into my life :), therefore I appeal about the help.
