I'm compiling a source code that generates following error:

checking for avcodec.h... no
checking for libavcodec/avcodec.h... no
checking for ffmpeg/avcodec.h... no
checking for libav/avcodec.h... no
checking for ffmpeg/libavcodec/avcodec.h... no
checking for libav/libavcodec/avcodec.h... no
configure: error: avcodec headers not found! Install FFmpeg or Libav.

Installing ffmpeg package didn't help me. Which package should be installed?

As you can see here on packages.ubuntu.com, avcodec.h is in the libavcodec-dev package. Use following command to install it:

sudo apt-get install libavcodec-dev
