You may also require installing the associated foo-dev packages also.

For example on Ubuntu...

     biz-net2# apt-file search opus.h
     libopus-dev: /usr/include/opus/opus.h
     thunderbird-dev: /usr/include/thunderbird/opus/opus.h
     z88dk-data: /usr/share/z88dk/include/zxopus.h

Notice the opus.h file (what ffmpeg looks for + requires) lives in
the libopus-dev package, rather than the libopus package.
