Avidemux 2.5.6 CODEC_ID_H264 video decoder failed!

[videofan]

Anyone know how I can resolve 'Decoder init: CODEC_ID_H264 video decoder failed!'. I had libav-9.1 (latest) already installed on the box before compiling. I can join these same files just fine with Avidemux 2.5.6 on Windows. The video joins fine with 2.6.1 on linux and no H264 decoder error, but I need to get 2.5.6 working since it preserves constant frame rates. In the attached log you will notice it was able to initialize the decoder 'Decoder init: CODEC_ID_H264 video decoder initialized!'.

It seems to have failed on the 3rd segment, all segments are from the same source material and encoded with the same settings.
Joining just two of the segments fails at **saving:**

H264 use 2.6.1, time based editing <> 2.5.6 is framed based editing. Newer video codecs don't have all full frames present. Some frames only contain some partial information. These rely on previous/upcoming frames to rebuild a current frame.

[videofan]

Any way to use H264 with 2.5.6 on linux? On Windows I can use H264 video just fine with 2.5.6 and it does what I want it to.
