$ paco VLC MPlayer FFmpeg Audacity
audacity-2.0.3  ffmpeg-0.8.7  ffmpeg-1.2.1  mplayer-1.1.1  vlc-2.0.7

I have three questions.

Audacity needs ffmpeg version < 0.9, as I learned after trying many
times to build it.

So, I installed ffmpeg-0.8.7 at /usr/local/

./configure --prefix=/usr/local

I did install, remove, install, ..., all ffmpegs and at the end the
sequence was: ffmpeg-0.8.7  ffmpeg-1.2.1

When trying to see running differences between lua or not lua in VLC, I
discovered it would not play files I normally use to test the build. It
was trying to use /usr/local/lib/libavformat.so.53.5.0 from
ffmpeg-0.8.7, not /usr/lib/libavformat.so.54.63.104 from ffmpeg-1.2.1.
But just the error console appeared. After, discovered that MPlayer had
no sound output and VLC had also sound problems.

Only way I found was to move away /usr/local, install VLC an MP, then
move /usr/local back.

I have tried some *FLAGS, without success.

Q1: What is, if possible, a more elegant, less dangerous way of doing
such kind of things, directing VLC and MP builds to search the right prefix?

Other subject.

When installing MPlayer, I use:

cp -vr DOCS/HTML/*  /usr/share/doc/mplayer-1.1.1

Book is:

install -v -m644    DOCS/HTML/en/* \
                    /usr/share/doc/mplayer-1.1.1

so that I have doc installed for

$ ls /usr/share/doc/mplayer-1.1.1
cs  de  en  es  fr  hu  it  pl  ru  zh_CN.

The book instructions explicitly excludes all but en, which is always
desired, though sometimes as a second choice, of course, but some other
one might be preferred.

Q2: Is there any particular reason for this preference of not installing
non-en languages?

Q3: Is it necessary to have the chosen language html files in
/usr/share/doc/mplayer-1.1.1, or they can remain where I have them now?

Thanks in advance.
