ffmpeg - "unknown encoder mp3"

anyone know what could be causing this error? I have lame installed.

root Existence > ffmpeg -formats | grep mp3
FFmpeg version 0.5, Copyright (c) 2000-2009 Fabrice Bellard, et al.
  configuration: --prefix=/usr --enable-gpl --enable-libmp3lame --enable-libvorbis --enable-libfaac --enable-libfaad --enable-libxvid --enable-libx264 --enable-libtheora --enable-postproc --enable-shared --enable-pthreads --enable-x11grab --enable-swscale

the command I'm running is:

for f in *ogg; do ffmpeg -i "$f" -acodec mp3 -ar 44100 -ab 192kbps -y "${f%.ogg}.mp3"; done

It's called "libmp3lame". "mp3" is a decode-only module. Check "ffmpeg -formats" for the proper names.

Not so. I had the same problem, using verbatim examples from documentation.

If you have further troubles w/ ffmpeg, IRC is your best bet
