Hello there

I face the following problem with vlc installation:
the following files do not exist
...why this could be happening???

/usr/local/lib/vlc/libmemcpymmx_pic.a
/usr/local/lib/vlc/libi420_rgb_mmx_pic.a
/usr/local/lib/vlc/libi422_yuy2_mmx_pic.a
/usr/local/lib/vlc/libi420_ymga_mmx_pic.a
/usr/local/lib/vlc/libi420_yuy2_mmx_pic.a
/usr/local/lib/vlc/libmemcpymmxext_pic.a
/usr/local/lib/vlc/libmemcpy3dn_pic.a
/usr/local/lib/vlc/libmux_ts_pic.a
/usr/local/lib/vlc/libtheora_pic.a

Thanks in advance

i doubt that VLC installs in /usr/local/ . Did you compile VLC yourself ?

Yes I compile it by my self but the the machine on which I try to setup vlc (Ubuntu installation) has been configured by someone else.....is it possible to be known to me where VLC installs.....I should mention that other libs like libi420_rgb_mmx.a exist in /usr/lical/lib/vlc....and that's the strange......I know the root pws and when I install I install as root....any further advice would be welcome

Thanks

If you have two versions of VLC installed (a .deb from ubuntu and a home made version), you can expect conflicts between both versions. You should definitively remove one.

Ok Dionoea I will try your solution.....thanks!!!!

Problem solved

it appears that some libraries weren't copied at the /lib/vlc folder so using
cp -r etc (copy this there) the problem solved....the error must be reletad with the Makefile but i heve'nt done any changes on it

Anyway thanks for your opinions
