[Libva] How to build a fresh Libva on Ubuntu Natty

[alanwww1]

Hi Eric !

Thanks for the help.

Sorry to bee such a noob, but...

I tried adding the -lva -lX11 options to the ldflags in the Makefiles
of the test directory.
Now the error disappears, but there is another problem:

The linker can not find the lib lva. I suppose it is libva. I know it
does not make any sense but  i installed the libva-dev package from
UIbuntu repos to see if the error goes away. And it does. So how can i
have the new Libva linked. Where should I have the NEW libva sources
stored so that the linker can find it while compiling ?

Thanks again,

Alan
