I’ve tried installing ffmpeg in mac lion through homebrew like this:

brew install --use-clang ffmpeg --with-tools --with-ffplay --enable-librtmp

but the compile flags ended up as 

configuration: --disable-debug --prefix=/usr/local/Cellar/ffmpeg/0.6.2 --enable-shared --enable-pthreads --enable-nonfree --enable-gpl --disable-indev=jack --enable-libx264 --enable-libfaac --enable-libmp3lame --enable-libtheora --enable-libvorbis --enable-libvpx --enable-libxvid --enable-libfaad

What’s the correct way to install ffmpeg with librtmp? I also want to run libavfilters like blackdetect.

Doing a direct install always failed with RTMP_Socket() missing so I was hoping for a homebrew solution.

    Finally able to compile! Think the key might have been running

    export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$PKG_CONFIG_PATH:/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig

    just before configure but not sure since i was getting different errors according to the flags. The script I ended up running (modified from other sources) is at github: https://gist.github.com/2863964
