Can't get SDL plugin working

[blah]

After running configure it does list sdl as one of the 
options but I will try this with the --with-sdl switch 
now.  When I hit y it doesn't print anything.  What release 
of vlc should I be using here?   I have tried ./gvlc 
dvd:/dev/dvd and it wouldn't give me any video at all.
