Linking libdvdcss to vlc in Fedora 15

[stretchkiwi]

Hi,

I am trying to get vlc to play dvds for me on my Fedora 15 box. I have installed vlc from RPM fusion but compiled the latest libdvdcss from 'svn co svn://svn.videolan.org/libdvdcss/trunk libdvdcs' and installed it using 'make install'. However when I try to play a DVD I get the following:

VLC media player 1.1.9 The Luggage (revision exported)

libdvdnav: DVD disk reports itself with Region mask 0x00f70000. Regions: 4

To me this appears to mean that vlc does not seem to be finding libdvdcss which is installed here:

/usr/local/lib/libdvdcss.so
/usr/local/lib/libdvdcss.so.2
/usr/local/lib/libdvdcss.so.2.1.0

It has been picked up by ldconfig:

libdvdcss.so.2 (libc6) => /usr/lib/libdvdcss.so.2

I've been using vlc for years without a problem. It is a great product. Can anyone see the error that I have made? Do I need to tell vlc about libdvdcss as well as install it? Thank you.
