VLC 2.0.1 compiled from source fails to run from terminal
Posted: 13 Jun 2012 21:37
Hi all,
I compiled vlc 2.0.1 from source to get the latest stable version and check a playlist possible bug. I use Linux Mint Debian Edition (which follows Debian Testing kinda close), which currently has 2.0.0.
I configured with "--disable -lua" switch, since I couldn't settle luac dependency, even after installing libcsnd-dev and liblua5.1-luacsnd5.2. I could resolve other dependencies to the point "./configure" passed without errors, but it gave me a bunch of warnings. "make" was OK. I just didn't do "make install", not to mess with my current vlc installation.
I tried to run vlc from the cli, but it halted with the following message:
I found another thread recommending to delete ~/.config/vlc but, since vlc 2.0.1 was not installed, it wouldn't make sense (I later purged vlc 2.0.0 and deleted the said directory, but this made no difference).
Could I be missing some module? I also tried installing libvlc5 and libvlc-dev, but the error kept the same. Or should I have paid more attention to the ./configure warnings?
Many thanks,
Emerson
