VLC will not open properly.
When I attempt to run it from terminal, it says the following:

I'm running Ubuntu 6.10. I installed this via Synaptic rather than from source. Any ideas what's wrong and how to fix it?
Forgive me if I'm missing anything important. This is my first post, and I'm a real noob when it comes to VLC.
