SuSE 10 & ffmpeg problem

Question

I want to use motion 3.2.6 with ffmpeg to build video files. Therefor I downloaded the ffmpeg-cvs-20060306-certified-with-motion-3.2.5.tar.gz. The installation of ffmpeg worked without problems (no error messages).

The configuration of motion found the ffmpeg installation. But when I start "make" the compilation runs without problems but in the linking phase it stops with errors.

/usr/local/lib/libavcodec.a(snow.o): In function `get_block_bits':
/daten/ffmpeg/ffmpeg/libavcodec/snow.c:3077: undefined reference to `ff_log2_tab'
/daten/ffmpeg/ffmpeg/libavcodec/snow.c:3077: undefined reference to `ff_log2_tab'
/usr/local/lib/libavcodec.a(snow.o):/daten/ffmpeg/ffmpeg/libavutil/common.h:370: more undefined references to `ff_log2_tab' follow
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [motion] Error 1
