[theora] CVS decoder(?) broken + gentoo compilation problem

[Maik Merten]

Hello,

did anybody else notice that current cvs outputs green/blue/blocky 
garbage in mplayer (player_example doesn´t play at all)? Seems the 
decoder doesn´t like recent encoder changes ;-)

(yes - I know CVS is experimental. I just couldn´t resist *g*)

At the time being I can´t compile properly on my gentoo machine:

user at notebook theora $ ./autogen.sh
I am going to run ./configure with no arguments - if you wish
to pass any to it, please specify them on the ./autogen.sh command line.
Generating configuration files for theora, please wait....

<p>If I run autogen.sh on a Red Hat 9 box and then copy all the files to 
the gentoo box it does compile there... strange.
