Because I haven¹t received a reply after a month, I¹m providing a progress
report.

With a fresh installation of Homebrew on a 10.9.2 Mavericks system, I was
able to install ffmpeg2 using the default configuration of the 3rd party
Homebrew formula by first performing Homebrew installations of lame and
x264.

On the existing system I continued to have problems with errors for
freetype, libvo-aacenc, and libvorbis even after applying more recent
updates for Homebrew. The remedy required several steps. I used ³brew
doctor² to help identify and remove some out of place libraries related to
lame, libogg, libvorbis, and libvo-aacenc. It was also necessary to use
³brew uninstall² to remove those 4 packages, then ³brew install² to
reinstall them. Afterwards, the only remaining error was ³freetype2 not
found². That problem seemed to be solved by using the ³‹HEAD²
configuration option.
