VLC-GUI not running

[Bevan]

Hi there,

I've got a problem with vlc running on my notebook. I've got a gentoo system on it. For more information, uname -a shows

Code: Select all

Linux bevan-mobil 2.6.19-gentoo-r5 #1 Thu Feb 1 22:25:03 CET 2007 i686 Intel(R) Pentium(R) M processor 1400MHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux

Everytime, I start vlc, it only starts in remote-control-mode. It IS installied with wxwindows-support. The USE-Flags (for all those, who know gentoo's portage-system) are set as following:

Code: Select all

media-video/vlc-0.8.6_p18636 USE="X a52 alsa avahi bidi cdda directfb dts dvd flac gnutls hal httpd live matroska mp3 mpeg ncurses ogg opengl png samba sdl speex stream svg svga theora truetype vcd vlm vorbis win32codecs wxwindows xinerama xml xv -3dfx -aalib (-altivec) -arts -cddb -corba -daap -debug -dvb -esd -fbcon -ggi -libcaca -libnotify -lirc -mod -nsplugin -optimisememory -oss -rtsp -seamonkey -shout -skins -upnp -v4l -xosd"

wxGTK is installed in version 2.6.3.3.

Interesting is also the output of the following command:
vlc -v --reset-plugins-cache:

Code: Select all

VLC media player 0.8.6 Janus [00000001] main private warning: cannot load module `/usr/lib/vlc/gui/libwxwidgets_plugin.so' (/usr/lib/libwx_baseu-2.6.so.0: undefined symbol: wx_regfree) [00000001] main private warning: cannot load module `/usr/lib/vlc/codec/libquicktime_plugin.so' (/usr/lib/vlc/codec/libquicktime_plugin.so: undefined symbol: NewHandleClear) [00000001] main private warning: config file /home/bevan/.vlc/vlcrc does not exist yet

What does "/usr/lib/libwx_baseu-2.6.so.0: undefined symbol: wx_regfree" mean?
Has anyone an idea, how to solve this problem?

I hope, somebody can help.

Greetings,
Michael

try building wxwidgets source yourself and installing. it worked for me.
Get wxwidgets 2.6.x - i did it with 2.8.0 but i had to change a couple of bits of VLC wxwidgets module source to compile.

if you've been already run another vlc on your system make sure you get rid (rm -rf) of the .vlc directory.

hope this helps...

I did a emerge -e on my gentoo-system. This compiles all packages again. Since then, vlc is running very well.

Thanks for help,
Michael
