I added a warning on the VLC for RedHat page and advised to compile from

Do you have some experience with RPM building ? Could you try to build
new ones ?

You mean make the spec file itself? Yeah, I did it once before<br>
for either vlc or vls, basically just hacked the existing one<br>
to remove all the dependencies I didn't have, so I'll try<br>
doing this again when I get to work.<br>
<br>
The neat way is to have the configure script automatically<br>
create the spec file, so then it's almost guaranteed to work<br>
for that system if configure didn't fail.<br>
