Same thing here, on Red Hat 8.0

I guess (but i'm not sure) that mjpegtools tries to build some sort of a
DivX-related tool, but for some reason it fails. That binary not being
built, it's not found in the end when the package is compressed, so rpm
fails.

My fix was to do a "rpm -ivh mjpegtools*src.rpm", then go to
/usr/src/redhat/SPECS/ and edit mjpegtools.spec and comment out the line
containing divxdec (it's towards the end, in the %files section: delete
it or put a # in front of it).
Then i do a "rpm -ba mjpegtools.spec" and this way the binary package is
rebuilt.
Actually, you may experiment with inserting some "--target i686" or
"--target athlon" (depending on your system) options in "rpm -ba",
because that might optimise your binaries a little bit better (i hope).

I don't use mjpegtools with DivX (i use transcode for stuff related to
DivX), that's why i comment out divxdec.

I would appreciate if someone could explain why divxdec is not built on
my system; i do have divx-5.0.1 installed, and based on it i can compile
transcode and xine with DivX support whithout any problem whatsoever.
