I have succeeded to compile mpeg_encode (mpeg_encode-1.5b-src.tar.gz)  
on Mac OSX (10.4.5) in the following way:


(1) Add a path to the header file (malloc.h) in Makefile

#################
# INCLUDE FILES #
#################
INCLUDEDIR = -Iheaders -I/usr/include -I/usr/include/malloc $(JPEG_DIR)

(depending on the path to malloc.h)


(2) comment out the following line (line 24) in headers/libpnmrw.h as

/* extern char* malloc();*/

(this can be avoided to add an appropriate cpp flag in Makefile)


(3) finally, comment out the declaration of sys_errlist (line 129) as  
follows

   /*extern char* sys_errlist[];*/

then "Make" and "Make test" work fine. Mpeg_encode works fine with  
XCrySDen.


Hope this helps
