Configure error macport - mkvToolnix

[Mine]

Hi Ryan,

After sending my email, I did some more searching and found a reference
to  "--enable-libfaac" and "--enable-libfaad".  If I was installing  
from Terminal
without macPorts I believe the following should work:
./configure --enable-libfaac" and "--enable-libfaad
  but I don't know how to set this option in macPorts.

I have now reinstalled ffmpeg using the following,
sudo port install ffmpeg +a52 +faac +faad +gpl +lame +libogg  
+postproc +theora +vorbis +x264 +xvid
but I got an error 'unknown encoder aac' so it appears that I sill  
have to enable
these options. Could you tell me how to enable these options in  
macPorts.

I also downloaded and installed ffmpeg-export-2008-09-26, faac, and  
faad outside
from the terminal without macPorts, to see if I could enable options.  
So I now have
two versions of these apps. Is there a simple way to delete the non- 
macports version.
Or can I get a list of where these apps install there files and  
delete them manually.

THanks,

Terrence
