I've also tryed the packaged from slacky.eu, installed all dependencies, but get always the same error.

Slackware 12.1

Can someone help me with this?

Hi!

Did you try my VLC 0.8.6i package (mirrored at http://slackware.org.uk/3rd-party/alien ... /pkg/12.1/) yet? Looking at your crash output (mentioning jack and portaudio) I think that you were running another binary than mine.
What are the results if you use this package (you won't need to install anything else than vlc-0.8.6i-i486-1alien.tgz) ?

Cheers, Eric

AlienBob

Thanks so much! This works great... I was getting desperate with this, as i made the slackbuild and it didn't work, the pacakge on the website of vlc didn't work neither the package of slacky.eu.

But now everything is ok! Thanks a million

Well I am glad it worked.
I do hope that someone of the Videolan crew reads this post and adds a link to my package to the VLC Slackware page, because the current information there is hopelessly outdated.

Cheers, Eric

I had the same problem with the vlc package i downloaded from www.slacky.eu , after removing it and installing your package vlc is working like a charm, thank you very much.
