Need help: Avidemux MP?

[mod]

Yestarday I started installing a lot of stuff on a new Notebook (Asus A6JE 008H - Core2Duo) and it seems that I'm not able to get Avidemux 2.3 preview2 run on my Ubuntu64 distro.
I looked for compiled versions but I didn't find any, then I tried to compile it from latest sources but I get errors related to SpiderMonkey (which of course I installed) and the operations stop.
The version available via Synaptic is 2.1.2. that doesn't allow multi threaded encoding, so it's not the best choice of course ^^
So..
If someone here has been able to make a successfull build, or can give a link to a working package it would be really nice.

Thanks for the help :)

PS: Am I the only one here waiting for MeGUIx? Take your time Sharktooth and thanks for your work :)

Try installing mozilla-dev, it should contain everything needed.

Thanks for the reply.
It didn't work, always the same error:

checking jsapi.h presence... no
checking for jsapi.h... no
configure: WARNING: I did not find a working copy of jsapi.h and the associated library.

configure: WARNING: The ones from mozilla-dev or firefox-dev are ok
configure: error: *** Working SPIDERMONKEY javascript engine not found !***

The only package that "could" solve the issue is libmozjs-dev, but it requires to uninstall other packages such as mozilla-browser, so I won't try it, also because googling a bit it seems that other people had this kind of problems.

be sure to use
--with-jsapi-include=/usr/include/mozilla/js

and to symlink
/usr/lib/firefox/libmozjs.so to /usr/lib

Then it should be fine.

Seen this?

@Lokean: thanks for the link, it was really useful because I've been able to compile with no problem (I didn't know that Edgy didn't like SpiderMonkey atm).
Btw.. I can't get a correct encode, exactly what happens with other builds: when the encoding begins, Avidemux quits (tonight I'll log here the shell output now I'm at work).
I start thinking there's something wrong somewere, because it's a fresh install and I can't get mencoder work too (never happened before).

[mod]

Ok, finally yestarday I was able to compile correctly, I had a really stupid problem with packages that I solved quite quickly.
Btw.. it seems that I can't make it work with more than 1 thread, also if I set 2 -> 4 the cpu usage is just 50%.
Now at work I can't remember if the issue is with xvid only or also with lavc, tonight I'll be more precise.
Thanks again :)

Start it in the console and look for message such as
[codec]Enabling MT decoder with 2 threads

and/or


Initializing global xvid 4
xvid build:xvid-1.1.0
xvid thread:0
xvid SIMD supported:(cf)

[mod]

Ok, it seems that the issue is only with xvid, lavc works quite good (also if I expected a more intensive use of both cores, atm I can't reach more than 130/200 with 2-4 threads).
Here're the infos:

Xvid version is 1.1.2, that doesn't support MT I think (I compiled it from source last thursday). I was thinking to recompile 1.2.-127 from Koepi's site, but I remember that I tried it last month on another system (Ubuntu32) and I didn't have success.
If that is the problem I'll take some time tomorrow and see.

Do you have any idea?

Again, thanks.
