Instead of manually removing "/usr/lib/libx264.so" first make sure you
don't have libx264-dev installed because that package provides this
file and libx264-dev can interfere with ffmpeg compilation as you're
already experienced.

Although it appears that some of the installation instructions you
posted in an earlier message in this thread come from this link.
