Hello !
Where is the problem ?

I created a directory:
mkdir /home/marco/Vlcinstall
cd /home/marco/Vlcinstall

I downloaded live555
wget http://www.live555.com/liveMedia/public ... est.tar.gz
tar xvzf live555-latest.tar.gz
cd live
./genMakefiles linux
make
OK NO ERROR

I downloaded vlc
cd /home/marco/Vlcinstall
git clone git://git.videolan.org/vlc.git
cd vlc
./bootstrap
OK NO ERROR

./configure --enable-live555 --enable-x264

In the end :

checking for LIVE555... no
configure: WARNING: No package 'live555' found.
checking for live555 version 1324598400 or later... no
configure: WARNING: live555 is missing or its installed version is too old:

configure: error: Update live555 or pass --disable-live555 to disable RTSP input support.

On openmandriva lx 2013 with pkgcongig installed in /usr/lib/pkgconfig

thank you for your ideas

Are you sure the new live555.pc is correctly placed?

where should be live555 ?
I have not "live555.pc"
I downloaded live555
wget http://www.live555.com/liveMedia/public ... est.tar.gz
tar xvzf live555-latest.tar.gz
cd live
./genMakefiles linux
make
no error but no live555.pc

You need to get live555 from your distribution, OR from vlc contrib.
It won't work if you download and build it yourself

Hi !
I get :
http://download.videolan.org/contrib/li ... .05.tar.gz
./genMakefiles linux (32bit)
make
OK

I get :
http://download.videolan.org/vlc/last/vlc-2.1.2.tar.xz
./bootstrap
./configure --enable-faad --disable-lua --disable-glx

If you want to build live555 only from vlc contribs, use "make .live555" instead of the make from the previous link.
