where is the LOG

[mcygogo]

I compiled the VLC 1.1.12, and I run it in the terminal, It can play the local file, But It can NOT play the RTSP video. the terminal log like this :
$ ./bin/vlc-static rtsp://192.168.0.130:8554/chacha.mpg
VLC media player 1.1.12 The Luggage (revision exported)
Blocked: call to unsetenv("DBUS_ACTIVATION_ADDRESS")

[0x9f41914] main libvlc: Running vlc with the default interface. Use 'cvlc' to use vlc without interface.
Remote control interface initialized. Type `help' for help.
[0xa05cf1c] main input error: open of `rtsp://192.168.0.130:8554/chacha.mpg' failed: (null)
[0xa05cf1c] main input error: Your input can't be opened
[0xa05cf1c] main input error: VLC is unable to open the MRL 'rtsp://192.168.0.130:8554/chacha.mpg'. Check the log for details.

And I got a vlc player on my OS(utuntu), it can play the stream well, so, I am sure the stream is OK, but why I can play the stream by the vlc I compiled?
and the configure option is this : ../configure --prefix=/media/data/work/vlc/01src/vlc-1.1.12/01install_dir --enable-realrtsp --disable-nls --disable-mozilla --disable-lua --disable-glx --disable-skins2
and the error infomations tell me check the log file , but where is the log file ?

and I just configure the src with --enable-live555 , so why the vlc can NOT find the live555 rtsp plugin ????

OK, I fixed it, I just need install the liveMedia-dev package

I just begin to read the source code of VLC, and I found that I can get many informations from the LOG. But I can not find out the right source code which print the info,
for example I get info like this: [0x9df6260] main decoder debug: using decoder module "avcodec" , I just grep the info , but I can get nothing.
How can I find out the c file which print out the info ?
some one can share some experiences about reading the source code?
