You're compiling the latest snapshot, right?

Does it work with the version of today?

I wouldn't use avifile anymore- it'll also most probably be removed from
swftools soon.
Use
    mencoder file.avi -lavfopts 
i_certify_that_my_video_stream_does_not_use_b_frames \
                      -ffourcc FLV1 -oac mp3lame -of lavf -ovc lavc \
                      -lavcopts vcodec=flv:acodec=mp3:vbitrate=500:abitrate=56 
-srate 22050  \
                      -o file.swf
instead.
