The configure script tries to compile and link this source:

#include <inttypes.h>
#include <x264.h>
#if X264_BUILD < 59
#error We do not support old versions of x264. Get the latest from SVN.
#endif
int main(void) { x264_encoder_open((void*)0); return 0; }

using "-lx264" and "-lx264 -lm". Something along the way is failing for
you. Look into your configure.log (after having called ./configure) and
check the section "============ Checking for x264 ============". It
reports what went wrong.

Hope this helps,
Moritz
