"

I also want to know, any one can tell us?
appreciate

i also would like to know how to run it in redhat 9, because after i decompress the files all i get is a bunch more compressed files

Hi,


i configured vlc-0.8.2 in red-hat-9.....

First download all necessary libraries ..... like

ffmpeg-20041113.tar
mpeg2dec-xxx-tar.gz
libdvbpdsi-20041028.tar
libmad-0.15.1b.tar.tar

vlc-0.8.2.tar.gz


Now Installation ...

FFMPEG:

tar xvf ffmpeg-2004113.tar
cd ffmpeg-2004113.tar
./configure --enable-shared-pp --enable-shared --enable-pp --enable -gpl
make
make install


MPEG2DEC :

tar -zxvf mpeg2dec-xxx-gz
cd mpeg2dec-xxx
./configure --enable-shared
make
make install


LIBDVBSI :

same steps like MPEG2DEC



VLC-0.8.2 :


tar -zxvf vlc-0.8.2.tar.gz
./configure --disable-wxwindows --disable-skins2
make
make install


In make it shows some files could't not found , bec of there is no proper link between ur VLC and ur installed libraries ... so u have to set path between VLC and ur libraries ....


Now u can run VLC ....


k...All The Best ....
