[streaming] Problems Compiling vls

[Steve Nelson]

Hello All,

Am trying to compile vls 0.5.6 on a Centos 4 machine.  I've been
following the VideoLAN HowTo, and have installed the libraries
required:

# ls -ld /usr/local/src/libdv* | grep -v gz
drwxr-xr-x  2 sanelson users   4096 Apr  6 09:24 /usr/local/src/libdvb-0.2.2
drwxrwsrwx  8     1000  1000   4096 Apr  6 09:25 /usr/local/src/libdvbpsi3-0.1.4
drwxrwxrwx  7     1000  1000   4096 Apr  6 09:28 /usr/local/src/libdvdcss-1.2.8
drwxrwsrwx  4     6581 30099   4096 Apr  6 09:33 /usr/local/src/libdvdread-0.9.4

The vls configure script runs without complaint (I didn't specify any
options), but when I try to make:

[root at paddy vls-0.5.6]# make

System is:

Is there any more information I should provide?

I would appreciate guidance on what to do next, as I'm not a c/c++
programmer, I'm not entirely sure what the above output means, and how
to troubleshoot further.

Thanks in advance.
