I am trying to install VLS on fedora core 3 test 3 and im receiving errors when i run the "make" command. Im running ./config --without-libdvb prior to that command. The make command produces the following:

Not sure why i get this Please help!
.....and while im posting, I am also setting up VLC on a separate computer with the same operating system. The error i get when installing the RPM from the gui is that libvcdinfo.so.0 and libvcdinfo.so.0(VCDINFO_0) packages are unlocatable. I get this when i try to install the vcdimager-0.7.20-1.1.vlc.i386.rpm file. hence i can not install the vcdimager-libvcd-0.7.20-1.1.vlc.i386.rpm file because it requires the vcdimager packge, and hence i can not install the vlc.0.7.2-1.i386.rpm because it requires the same two llibvcd files as the first one mentioned. Seems like one vicous circle, is there a way to install all concurrently or am I just missing something.

Thanks so much in advance if you guys can help

I am getting the same error

I am getting the same error

Fixed the VLS compile error by grabbing the svn trun instead .. built fine, no errors

VLS compile error: kinda a newbie here but, what did you just say? I am having the same issue (FC3 make).

./config seems to work fine. But, make fails with the same error as above

Apexdv -- The trunk is available from Subversion. If you have subversion installed on your pc, then:
svn co svn://svn.videolan.org/vlc/trunk vlc-trunk
Will download the complete vlc developer's trunk (set of files, in directories), and place it in the directory vlc-trunk on your PC.

If you don't have subversion, there's a link on the left side of the VLC developer's page to obtain it.

ok...I downloaded & installed subversion, grabbed the vls-trunk now it wants me to bootstrap this, make a configure file, etc, etc, etc.... I'm not a programmer so I am completely lost.

VLC runs just fine (as long as it is run as root...another issue altogether) and I was even able to install SAP (out of curiosity). As far as the original errors (same as above): are there libraries missing or something that I need to install? (I have apt and yum) Or is this just an issue with FC3?
