Hi Andreas
I'm the programmer for FlashExtractor so I can't really speak for 
SWFTools, but I went ahead and took a shot at recreating your problem.  
In a nutshell, I couldn't, but a cursory look at the code, I thought I 
saw a code path where the error could occur.  This tends to tell me that 
our environments are different and I checked for differences in our 
./configure output.  Let's try this, install lame, lame development, 
libgif, and libgif development and try to compile again (make sure to 
rerun ./configure.)  I'm unfamiliar with Gentoo Linux, but these are 
common libraries and I expect you want have any problem finding them in 
your distro.  If you have trouble finding them, I can give you the names 
of the Fedora and Ubuntu packages if that will help.

Let me know if this works.  If not, we'll keep digging.
