svn trunk motion + git trunk ffmpeg + Ubuntu 10.04

Question

motion shipped with ubuntu 10.04 is very old. To get working video pipe functionality trying to compile from svn trunk. Got built ffmpeg from git with shared libs. ./autogen.sh --with-ffmpeg=/usr/local Motion will not search avformat.h from correct place (/usr/local/include/libavformat/). To get things happy ln -s /usr/local/include/libavformat/avformat.h /usr/local/include/avformat.h

But now there are a lot of errors (below). Can be this newer motion version compiled for ubuntu? Motion shipped with ubuntu will not support video pipes. Downgrading ffmpeg is not option because support for rtmp output needed. Trying to get webcam picture (from network) with motion and send output to video pipe from where ffmpeg will pick it up and send to rtmp server.
