Description:
When attempting to compile MusicBrainz Picard from source, I get the following error:
http://pastebin.com/f228ddf65

It indicates that gcc was unable to find the avcodec.h and avformat.h which are located in /usr/include/libavcodec/avcodec.h and /usr/include/libavformat/avformat.h. I was able to get Picard to compile by running:
'sudo ln -s /usr/include/libav*/* /usr/include'

Are these header files from ffmpeg located in the wrong place?
This task depends upon

No, it's either a bug in the application or in the .pc file shipped with ffmpeg. Looking at the included .pc files with ffmpeg, the /usr/include/* directories shipped with ffmpeg are not included in the include path. This is expected I think, as most applications use <libavcodec/avcodec.h> instead of <avcodec.h>.
As ffmpeg is constantly changing in both ABI and API, I would say that it's a bug in the application by not keeping up with ffmpeg development.
