Another ffmpeg (version?) question

[Patton Echols]

I was using dvd-slideshow to make . . . a slideshow. It uses ffmpeg, but 
failed to code the audio stream. I was able to make it work by usingnthe 
-mp2 option, but apparently that isn't compatibble with all dvd players.

found this in the ffmpeg man page:

. . . Furthermore, the audio stream is MP3-encoded so
you need to enable LAME support by passing "--enable-mp3lame" to con‐
figure. . . .

Not sure what this means. Is there a configure file somewhere? Or is 
this talking about when compiled?

When running ffmpeg the following info is given:

~$ ffmpeg -formats | grep mp3

I don't see "--enable-mp3lame" with the other enables.

If this is a compile thing, is there another version that has been 
compiled with mp3 support in the repos? or must I do it myself?

If anyone knows or can tell me how to figure it out I'd appreciate it..
