@section I have installed this library with my distro's package manager. Why does @command{configure} not see it?
Distributions usually split libraries in several packages. The main package
contains the files necessary to run programs using the library. The
development package contains the files necessary to build programs using the
library. Sometimes, docs and/or data are in a separate package too.
To build FFmpeg, you need to install the development package. It is usually
called @file{libfoo-dev} or @file{libfoo-devel}. You can remove it after the
build is finished, but be sure to keep the main package.
