compiling on MacOSX

[Eric Carlson]

Hmm... looks like you don't have libdl installed. Get it here:
http://fink.sourceforge.net/files/dlcompat-20010123.tar.gz

Uncompress it, make it, then do a 'make install' as root (or with sudo). 
You'll probably have to do a 'make clean' and then run configure again 
in your vlc source directory to set up the build again.

I don't think the configure script checks for things and fails if 
they're not present, thus the confusion.

Supposedly, libdl should no longer be required due to some changes in 
the way modules are handled (or that's what I thought one of the 
developers said a few days ago...) but it looks like it still is.

I hope that helps...
