* everybody is born to read "ERROR" at the end of configure

* everybody is born to realize that "Try again from the top, git clone a 
fresh working copy" is idiotic - doing teh same thing multipel times and 
expect a different result is idiotic

* the error message was even clear

* using "sudo" in front of everything is idiotic and not relevant to 
ffmpeg, unless you get "permissions denied" it is idiotic to run 
*anything* with superuser privileges

and all that idiots prefixng everything with "sudo" in useless howtows 
are what they are: idiots responsible breed more idiots

period
