handbrake compilation

I'm using the CVS version of the Handbrake source, and I get the following error when trying to compile

Code:

gcc -c -o libhb/encx264.o -Wall -g -O3 -funroll-loops -I./contrib/include -DSYS_LINUX -DHB_VERSION=\"0.7.0\" -DHB_BUILD=2005110400 -D__LIBHB__ -Ilibhb libhb/encx264.c

Thoughts? Handbrake is at http://handbrake.m0k.org

It appears to need libhb - does the INSTALL file refer to it at all?

there is no INSTALL file, but the BUILD file reads

Building HandBrake
==================

You can build HandBrake on BeOS, MacOS X and Linux. If you'd like to
port it to another OS, email me (titer@m0k.org).

Step 1: get needed tools
========================

+ gcc and g++
There are usually included in your OS' dev tools. On BeOS/Zeta, the
default gcc isn't enough, gcc 2.95.3 is required.
+ jam
I use 2.5rc3, earlier versions might cause issues.
On BeOS, you can download it at <http://www.haiku-os.org/develop.php>.
On OS X, you cannot use the modified jam shipped with the developer
tools, use this one instead:
<http://handbrake.m0k.org/files/jam-2.5rc3-OSX.zip>.
+ nasm (except for OS X)

Step 2: build
=============

Run `jam'. This will build every library HandBrake requires, then
HandBrake itself.

so I did

Code:

$ ./configure

$ jam

FIXED:

I needed nasm(Netwide assembler). I downloaded the .rpm from the sourceforge site, and converted it to a .deb using alien.
