Translation:
the -l command to the compiler presumes lib....
so -lxvid means: "look for libxvid on the include path"

Several possiblities here
1) libxvidcore.* provides everything libxvid.* should
and there are some missing symbolic links.
2) libxvid.* is different and missing.
3) the makefile is specifing -lxvid when it should
be specifing -lxvidcore

I can't tell which of the above it might be...

Try checking where you got the source for
libxvidcore, perhaps there is also a source for
a libxvid

And/Or
become 'root', make /usr/lib the current
directory, then link back to the libraries
by:
ln -s /usr/local/lib/libxvidcore.*  .
The fourth argument to the above is . (period).
