[vlc-devel] Problem compiling VLC.

[Rajesh Marathe]

Hi,

I just started using VLC and am trying to compile the same on Redhat EL5 
host machine. On running the script "./bootstrap", I get the following 
error:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
