Help with compile errors for vlc 0.8.6c

[Scott Ehrlich]

I'm running Ubuntu Feisty, fully updated, and am having problems compiling 
vlc 0.8.6c from source.  ./configure works fine, but make yields:

ERROR   : demux.c:38: 25:  avformat.h: No such file or directory
In file included from demux.c:41:
ERROR   : ffmpeg.h: 44:  expected declaration specifiers or '...' before 
'AVCodecContext'
ERROR   : ffmpeg.h: 44:  expected declaration specifiers or '...' before 
'AVCodec'
ERROR   : ffmpeg.h: 50:  expected declaration specifiers or '...' before

'AVCodec'
ERROR   : ffmpeg.h: 85:  expected declaration specifiers or '...' before 
'AVFrame'
make: *** [all] Error 2


I was able to apt-get install all the dependecies ./configure complained I 
didn't have at first.

If I cannot get the source to compile, what trusted site has a precompiled 
version to add to my apt repo?

Thanks.
