configure: error: You must have libxvidcore!!!    <--- surely one exclamation mark would have done.  

Running on OpenSuse 11.2, it's just this one lib. Any help would be great.. Thank you.

So the problem is the additional 2 exclamation marks?

Seriously, you should install xvid(-core) and/or theora lib + development headers.

Geever - I have installed xvid(core) and the theora lib (development headers etc). It seems to bork at the symbol xvid_decore not being in the library. Is there a particular version of the xvidcore library I need to have?

[wulfgang]

OK - solved, OpenSuse 11.2 version of the library seems to be the problem - removed it and built fresh from the xvid offical site.

I have the same problem on openSuSE 11.2. The end of my ./configure output is
checking xvid.h usability... yes
checking xvid.h presence... yes
checking for xvid.h... yes
checking for xvid_decore in -lxvidcore... no
configure: error: You must have libxvidcore!!!

I uninstalled all pre-packaged *xvid* packages. I built and installed xvid. This seemed OK
  D: /usr/local/lib
  I: /usr/local/lib/libxvidcore.so.4.2
  I: /usr/local/lib/libxvidcore.a
  D: /usr/local/include
  I: /usr/local/include/xvid.h

aha just got it! (I will still post this - it may help someone else).

sudo ln -s /usr/local/lib/libxvidcore.so.4.2 /usr/local/lib/libxvidcore.so

the configure script is missing the so.4.2, so a symlink helps. I did this with my own xvid build, but this may have worked with the packaged version.
