faad problem: ERROR: libfaad not found

When you compile ffmpeg sometime you might found:

./configure --prefix=/usr/local --enable-gpl --enable-shared  --enable-mp3lame --enable-amr_nb --enable-amr_wb --enable-amr_if2  --enable-a52 --enable-a52bin --enable-faadbin --enable-dts --enable-pp  --enable-faad --enable-pthreads --disable-ffserver --disable-ffplay
ERROR: libfaad not found
If you think configure made a mistake, make sure you are using the  latest
version from SVN.  If the latest version fails, report the problem to  the
devel@mplayerhq.hu[/email]  mailing list or IRC #ffmpeg on irc.freenode.net.
Include the log file "config.err" produced by configure as this will  help
solving the problem.

Here is the solution:

tar zxvf faad2-2.5.tar.gz
cd faad2
echo > plugins/Makefile.am
echo > plugins/xmms/src/Makefile.am
sed -i '/E_B/d' configure.in
autoreconf -vif
./configure --prefix=/usr
make
make install
