[Paraview] Error compiling FFMPEG with paraview

[David E DeMarle]

Check and see if /tmp/ffmpeg_inst has anything in it (and in
particular ffmpeg/avcodec.h).  I am guessing that you forgot to "make"
the ffmpeg library after you did the "configure ..." and before you
did "make install".

cheers,
Dave DeMarle
