(Unrelated: Note that -v is the option to set the verboseness 
of all FFmpeg binaries, it requires an argument.)

This tells you that you installed the libraries into 
/usr/local/lib (this is the default location and you 
did not specify another location) while you already 
have (another version of) libavcodec installed in 
/usr/lib - this generally cannot work.

Please understand that I do *not* generally recommend to 
install your self-compiled shared libraries into /usr/lib 
- I just want to explain the problem (why linking fails 
for you independently of the mentioned FFmpeg bug).
