Many thanks. That did the trick for *compiling*. 

In trying to start with a clean slate I tried "make uninstall" That
worked well enough for the includes. "make clean" from the top level
really didn't clean much. I had to go into the modules directory and
"make clean" from there. Shouldn't make clean in the top-level
directory recurse? 

When I ran vlc, I got a core dumps. On investigation it seems that
"make uninstall" doesn't remove all the broken modules and some of
them were causing core dumps. In particular the dvd module, and the
SDL module (probably among others).

So now, when I run I get a really slick new OSX-like GUI.  But when I
try to test to see if I've fixed what looks to me OGT and CVD subtitle
breakage, I get:

  vlc /src/vcd_examples/svcd_ogt_test_ntsc/avseq01.mpg --spu-channel=0
  VLC media player 0.7.3-svn Bond

  [00000205] freetype private error: freetype-rel-font currenlty broken, FIXME
  X Error of failed request:  BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)
    Major opcode of failed request:  144 (XVideo)
    Minor opcode of failed request:  19 ()
    Serial number of failed request:  71
    Current serial number in output stream:  72

The fact that "currently" is misspelled I think suggests where the freetype
breakage came from ;-)  

As for reduce_mouseover.png, locate shows:

.../vlc-trunk/share/skins2/default/reduce_mouseover.png

And indeed it is not installed although reduce.png, for example, is. 

Finally, based on a remark Gildas made a while back about fixing the dvb
plugin was all that was needed before another release.

Is this still the impression of most developers? For me right now,
there seems to be a bit that is broken. 

Thanks again for all the help.
