FFMPEG-Php installation on Amazon EC2 linux AMI

Question

I have installed FFMPEG on Amazon EC2 Linux AMI using this script now I am trying to install FFMPEG-PHP and after ./configure it gives me this error on make command

 # make
/bin/sh /opt/ffmpeg-php-0.6.0/libtool --mode=compile cc  -I. -I/opt/ffmpeg-php-0.6.0 -DPHP_ATOM_INC -I/opt/ffmpeg-php-0.6.0/include -I/opt/ffmpeg-php-0.6.0/main -I/opt/ffmpeg-php-0.6.0 -I/usr/include/php -I/usr/include/php/main -I/usr/include/php/TSRM -I/usr/include/php/Zend -I/usr/include/php/ext -I/usr/include/php/ext/date/lib -I/usr/local/include/ffmpeg  -DHAVE_CONFIG_H  -g -O2 -Wall -fno-strict-aliasing   -c /opt/ffmpeg-php-0.6.0/ffmpeg-php.c -o ffmpeg-php.lo

 In file included from /opt/ffmpeg-php-0.6.0/ffmpeg-php.c:42:0:
    /usr/local/include/ffmpeg/avcodec.h:43:21: fatal error: version.h: No such file or directory
     #include "version.h"

I have searched this a lot but couldn't manage to do it, Amazon support officer asked me to use CENTOS AMI instead of Linux AMI but I have everything hosted there, so I will appreciate if someone can help me with this.

Thank you,

The FFPMEG is no longer supported and is not updated since 2008, So I have managed to do it using commands through PHP

so if anyone of you wants to use FFMPEG then use exec command but make sure you enter correct path like below

$ret = exec('ffmpeg -i /var/www/html/inputvid.mp4 -b:v 1300k -preset ultrafast /var/www/html/outputvid.mp4', $out, $err);
