Unknown codec 'xvid'

As you can see xvid support compiled in, but 'Unknown codec xvid'.
'xvid' didn't appear on the -formats output either.

I did the same on an other machine with same versions of ffmpeg, gcc, 
nasm, xvidcore, same configure options and there xvid works...

What is going on here?

This is the way I configured ffmpeg:

./configure --prefix=/opt/dvb --enable-mp3lame --enable-libogg 
--enable-vorbis --enable-theora --enable-xvid --enable-gpl 
--extra-cflags='-I /opt/dvb/include' --extra-ldflags='-L /opt/dvb/lib'

libxvidcore is in /opt/dvb/lib
