Yeah, that's what I thought. The error didn't make any sense to me, as
everything seemed ok when I examined the source.

Yep, you're right. Turns out something went screwy when I compiled
theora as debian packages, and libtheora-dev didn't contain
/usr/include/theora, which meant that some older versions I had didn't
get overwritten.
