i configure :

./configure --with-mysql=/usr --with-webdir=/var/www/html/ --with-cgidir=/var/www/cgi-bin/

avformat.h is in the libavcodec dev package (libavcodec1-dev in Debian) - maybe you don't have that installed?

I had the same error, I solved installing ffmpeg doing a "make installlib". you should also tell configure where is the build directory of ffmpeg, my configure is:
./configure --with-mysql=/usr --with-webdir=/var/www/html/ --with-cgidir=/var/www/cgi-bin/ --with-ffmpeg=/home/davide/src/ffmpeg-0.4.8

avformat.h is in a subdir of home/davide/src/ffmpeg-0.4.8.

if you are italian write me here: davide.morelli at parser.it

I'm getting the exact same error. Libavcodec is install on SUSE 9.0. avformat.h is in /usr/include/ffmpeg

./configure --with-mysql=/usr --with-webdir=/var/www/html/ --with-cgidir=/var/www/cgi-bin/ --with-ffmpeg=/usr/include/ffmpeg

What is "make installlib"? Where do I run that?

Error message is:

post all the necessary rows and the esata sintassi of the rows /configure....

Don't know what you are saying but I think I found one problem.

Part of Makeinstall.

bindir = ${exec_prefix}/bin
sbindir = ${exec_prefix}/sbin
libexecdir = ${exec_prefix}/libexec
datadir = ${prefix}/share
sysconfdir = ${prefix}/etc
sharedstatedir = ${prefix}/com
localstatedir = ${prefix}/var
libdir = ${exec_prefix}/lib
infodir = ${prefix}/info
mandir = ${prefix}/man
includedir = ${prefix}/include
oldincludedir = /usr/include
pkgdatadir = $(datadir)/zm
pkglibdir = $(libdir)/zm
pkgincludedir = $(includedir)/zm

The lib dir that has libavcodec is /usr/lib/. I believe I need both dirs to make Can I dd a second lib dir?

i had the same error as you, i did this:

unistalled ffmpeg from the system
downloaded last ffmpeg from http://ffmpeg.sourceforge.net/
unzipped it in /home/user/src/ffmpeg-0.4.8
open bash shell as root:
# cd /home/user/src/ffmpeg-0.4.8
# ./configure
# make
# make install
# make installlib

then zoneminder:

# cd /home/user/src/zm-1.19.0
# ./configure --with-mysql=/usr --with-webdir=/var/www/html/zm --with-cgidir=/var/www/cgi-bin --with-ffmpeg=/home/user/src/ffmpeg-0.4.8

it works for me.

My system is Mandrake 10, i don't know suse, the problem may be another...

installib copy the newly compiled libraries into the system.

There is a difference between 1.19.0 and 1.19.1. With 1.19.0 you have to make --with-ffmpeg point to the build directory of ffmpeg, you do not need to install the headers or libraries. With 1.19.1 you point it at the installed root, which would usually just be /usr/local as the libraries are in /usr/local/lib and the headers in /usr/local/include. In this case you should make sure you do 'make installlib' in the ffmpeg build directory or install an ffmpeg-devel package.
