I tried to install vlc on my linux box (SuSE Linux 7.2, i386). Consequently there are not any binaries available to elude this problem:

make[2]: Entering directory `/home/trust/vlc-0.7.1/doc'
make[2]: Nothing to be done for `all'.
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/trust/vlc-0.7.1/doc'
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/trust/vlc-0.7.1'
make: *** [all] Error 2

I'm quite sure that this error cannot be reduced to the problem I had before. ./configure didn't work unless I left out the ffmpeg-library by typing:

./configure --disable-ffmpeg

Hope to find help very soon!
Thank you so much!

Try compiling ffmpeg first. Grab the ffmpeg Tarball http://download.videolan.org/pub/videol ... 22.tar.bz2

unpack it to /home/your_home/ffmpeg and compile it with: then unpack vlc in a different directory and compile it:
