How can I enable the GUI in VLC?

[clock_zhong]

I've build the vlc0.8.0 in my redhat9.0 platform,
I configured it as the following:
./configure --enable-skin2
But I don't know how to start the vlc with GUI, Who can help me, thnaks very much!

Just start vlc with the "--intf=skins2"-option. If you get an error, check if you have the WxWidgets development headers installed.

Fkuehne! I followed your instructions! But I still can't make the GUI output, I only can login the console interface, It's as flollow:
[root@localhost vlc-0.8.0]# ./vlc --intf=skins2
VLC media player 0.8.0 Janus
Remote control interface initialized, `h' for help

And I even can't play any video file with this console interface

Thanks for your replay

and I forgot to say that,
I've installed wxWidget2.5.3, I found that the wxwindows20031222 snap version(which is provided by videolan web downlaod page) has some errors when I build it! So I downloaded and installed the latest stable version!

... I forgot to say that you need to enable the WxWindows-interface on the configure-script. So, add "--enable-wxwindows" too. Please make sure that VLC does not complain about anything wxWidgets related while configuring it. Furthermore, please update to the 0.8.1-release, since its configure-script is a bit more reliable on configuring the right stuff for skins2.

Btw. You can find unofficial, precompiled RPMs of VLC 0.8.1 for RH9 here, which should include also the skins2-interface, but I'm not entirely sure about that.

I've followed your instruction, but the GUI sill can't come out. But I can play media files with Vlc0.8.1 now, It's enough for me, I can debug into the vlc with the current status, I think I can find the real reason myself later. Thank you very much, your response is even much faster than many comercial technology companies. :O)

Has anyone built a development vlc-0.8.1 rpm for Mandrake 10 [10.1]?? The 0.8.0 rpm that I tried displays the GUI but none of the controls work. I get an error like "no default action associated with event".
