Compilation of VLC is no longer a trivial matter and has never really 
been explained here.

I'd say that Heiko Panther and jlj already did it, but I'll wait for your mail.

I know why you get it, but I don't know how to fix it (except with 
--disable-dvdread --disable-dvdplay which may not be what you want).

[tech: libdvdread and libdvdplay are both statically linked to 
libdvdcss, and vlc statically links to libdvdread, libdvdplay and 
libdvdcss. Any idea ?]

What do you mean by that ? What doesn't work, precisely ? I suggest 
you work on this issue, because it is the way to go.
