[FFmpeg-user] Applications not seeing newly compiled ffmpeg

Hello!

I just finished compiling ffmpeg 1.0 from the snapshot I downloaded.

My OS is Ubuntu 12.04 and comes with ffmpeg 0.8 by default.

When I issue the command "ffmpeg -v" in the shell it says:

ffmpeg version 1.0.git Copyright (c) 2000-2012 the FFmpeg developers

  libpostproc    52.  1.100 / 52.  1.100
Missing argument for option 'v'

However, when launching applications such as tragtor or ffmpeg-gui these do
not see the newly compiled 1.0 or the default version 0.8.

Usually after compiling the new version of ffmpeg replaces the older
version and I continue using the applications that use ffmpeg.

Ffmpeg is located in /usr/local/bin like it usually is so nothing has
changed there...

Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong or some additional step that I'm missing?

Best Regards

KH
