Thanks Jeremy,

Part way home, I think. That seemed to satisfy Ambulant's special ffmpeg pkg.
And I can see it is here by...

baal: {1} ls /usr/local/bin | grep ffmpeg
ffmpeg
baal: {2}

But when I run Ambulant's configure script it still complains that it can't see 
ffmpeg like so...

ball: {3} ./configure

...many lines not shown...

checking for FFMPEG... Discovered FFMPEG version to use - not found

...many lines not shown...

ambulant-1.6.1 will be built with following parameters:

         targeted prefix:                /usr/local
         compiler:                       gcc

         Enable SMIL21 support:          true
         Enable external DOM:            true
         Use expat XML library:          true
         Use xerces XML library:         false
         Enable Xerces as plugin:        false
         Build with ffmpeg:              false
         Turn on ffmpeg Dirac support:   false
         Build Qtopia frontend:          false
         Build Qt frontend:              true
         Build Cocoa frontend:           false
         Build with SDL:                 true
         Build with ARTS support:        false
         Build with live555.com RTSP:    true
         Build with Python support:     false



ffmpeg not found or disabled. Building without ffmpeg (which means you limited m
edia support)


baal: {4}

And I looked through the Makefile and the third-party Makefile which seemingly
has to do with stuff like ffmpeg. But it was all Greek to me, I'm afraid.
