Hello, I have followed all the instructions on the UnixCompile page for building VLC (git).
However, after I configure, make, and try to run by "./vlc",
I receive an error:

Code: Select all

VLC media player 2.1.0-git Rincewind (revision 1.3.0-git-4759-gac124a0)
[0x23fb348] main libvlc: Running vlc with the default interface. Use 'cvlc' to use vlc without interface.
./vlc: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0: undefined symbol: g_module_open

I'm running on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS 64-bit.

I've successfully compiled VLC 2.0.4 and it works just fine.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

VLC does not use GTK, so something must be wrong on your system.

Just switched to Ubuntu 12.04 64-bit and have the same error on a fresh system.

Did you find any solution for that?

Edit: Seems to be a bug in Ubuntu. Here is a workaround: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+sour ... bug/220935.
