Is there another version sourcecode for FC5?

Can you still compile with pretty much all the configure options disabled?

Make sure you're using the latest ffmpeg too (for example, even the latest unstable ffmpeg package in debian is not new enough

I guess that I don't have all the libs for vlc. I will download libs and try again.
