I tried to use my version of VLC to view  a wmv file, but it still fails
with the error:

$ vlc ~/Desktop/WindowsMedia.wmv
VLC media player 0.8.6b Janus
[00000507] main dialogs provider error: no dialogs provider module matched
"any"
[00000506] skins2 interface error: no suitable dialogs provider found (hint:
compile the wxWidgets plugin, and make sure it is loaded properly)
[00000506] skins2 interface: skin: VLC 0.8.5 Default Skin  author: aLtgLasS
vlc: pcm_plug.c:384: snd_pcm_plug_change_channels: Assertion
`snd_pcm_format_linear(slv->format)' failed.
Aborted


Can you please tell me how to compile vlc so that it can view wmv file?

Thank you.

Here is the configuration that I use to compile VLC:

$ ./configure --enable-x11 --enable-xvideo --disable-gtk --enable-sdl
--enable-ffmpeg-faac --with-ffmpeg-mp3lame --enable-mad --enable-libdvbpsi
--enable-a52 --enable-dts --enable-libmpeg2 --enable-dvdnav --enable-faad
--enable-vorbis --enable-ogg --enable-theora --enable-faac --enable-mkv
--enable-freetype --enable-fribidi --enable-speex --enable-flac
--enable-caca --enable-skins --enable-skins2  --enable-alsa --disable-kde
--enable-qt --enable-wxwindows --enable-ncurses --enable-release
