The VideoLAN Forums

Hi,all, now I got a trouble like the following, if you know what's the matter? Please do me the favor to give me an answer.

Problem description:
using rpm to install all the rpms inside the http://downloads.videolan.org/pub/video ... pm/redhat/,
except for those five with vlc prefix rpms.
and then configure and make the tarball vlc-0.6.0.tar.gz inside the
http://downloads.videolan.org/pub/videolan/vlc/0.6.0/,
after all done, run the vlc, but it can not play the ordinary mpeg2 files.
while if I install the vlc rpm package inside the .../vlc/0.6.0/rpm/redhat
as described above, this vlc can play it perfectly.
OS platform is redhat9.0

In fact I just want to modify some source code, tarball give me this chance, but now it could not work, who can help me?

Thank you very much!

ehm, VLC 0.6.0 is more than 2, I repeat TWO, years old. Please update to the latest release and try again.

Thank you for your advice.
Now I installed vlc-0.8.1 on Fedora core 3 and it works well.

While I have another question.
I want to install vlc-0.8.1 on redhat 9 for some reason.
I got correspond version of vlc-0.8.1 in
http://downloads.videolan.org/pub/video ... pm/redhat/
and find those related rpms listed below from rpmfind.net.

xosd-2.2.12-1.0.rh9.dag.i386.rpm
xvidcore-1.0.3-1.0.rh9.rf.i386.rpm

at first, I install them by rpm -U *,
then I install the vlc-0.8.1 by rpm -ivh videolan-client-0.8.1-1.0.rh9.rf.i386.rpm
they all went well and successed, and I can load vlc to see its GUI,
BUT when I chose an mpeg2 file to play, it responses nothing,
no picture display, no sound, and it can be closed normally.
I don't know what's wrong?

The following is the debug info printed by vlc
