is it a bug??? I compiled the wxWidgets-2.6 with the unicode option; can anyone help me please?????

Thanks in advance.........

It looks like an issue with your wxGTK install. but no idea to know for sure on a segfault.. you'll need to check with gdb etc, where the crash occurs.

Well Thanks for your replay.....I'll try it; but tell me did you compile the vlc in suse linux???, I was searching solutions; and a lot of people has the same problem; well Icompiled the vls-svn-0.8.5; but I think the problem is with the wxwidget package...well I'll analize with gdb..
Thanks again

ps...sorry for my english

Hi...well I used the gdb program and I have the next output from gdb:

I think ..the problem is with the wxWidget; but I have compiled and using the 2.6 version...
can anyone help me???????

Hi people...well finally a resolved my problem;
The problem is that I have instaled the wxwidgets-2.5.3 from binary (*.rpm); and the wxwidget-2.6.2 from source; but I compiled the vlc using the wxwidget-2.6.2

thus in the vlc compilation there isn't errors...but when I tryed to run the vlc (./vlc) I had a error (violacion de segmento).....
Well probing diferents things I unistaled the wxwidget-2.5.3(wxGTK) using yast2(suse-9.3) and finally the vlc works fine..

Thanks for all

ps.......sorry for my english
