First this is a user question, not a devel one. Secondly try adding
/usr/local/lib to /etc/ld.so.conf or whateverfile and run ldconfig
afterwards.

Also, when I compile ffmpeg without the --enable-faac option but with the other two options ffmpeg seems to work just fine.  At least I get a proper usage message and it doesn't complain about missing files.
