vld 0.8.5 no built-in theme problem

[ttse8]

Hi all,

After a long stuggling with vlc, I have successfully installed vlc 0.8.5 in fedora core 3. However, when I type vlc, the following message comes out. Please help.

Error: Failed to initialize GUI: no built-in themes found.

That's not a VLC message.

Do you see only that or other messages ?

[ttse8]

Such problem exists because the wxWidget installation is not complete.

wxWidgets 2.6.3 instalation OK

but error continue

I am installing in Suse 10.1 and VLC 0.8.5

@huemer:
Did you compile VLC by yourself or using the RPM from PackMan?
SuSE 10.1 comes with wxGTK 2.6.2 as far as I know. If you have 2.6.3 installed -> rebuild the source RPM from PackMan: http://packman.links2linux.de/?action=377

[huemer]

I need compile source of VLC

but compile of wxWidgets 2.6.2 error

compile wxWidgets 2.6.3 OK

VLC 0.8.5

Start vlc with -vvv and post the output.

>vlc -vvv

Where did you install wxWidgets 2.6.3? Did you install it to /usr or /usr/local ? Did you uninstall the other wxWidgets(wxGTK) which come with SuSE 10.1?

SuSE is a RPM based distribution, I would use RPM. If you need, build your own RPM, based at the spec file from the src RPM from PackMan.

I am compile wxWidgets in usr/local

run VLC -vvv

Problem solved with configure wxWidgets

./configure --with-x11 --enable-gui --enable-plugins --enable-universal --disable-gtk --enable-compat22 --enable-unicode
