Sorry, forgot to mention another message which may be important:
"module warning - cannot open /usr/lib/videolan/vlc/sdl.so
(libSDL-1.1.so.0: cannot open shared object file: no such file or
directory"
I definitely have installed a package called libSDL1.2-1.1.2-1mdk.
Incidentally, I downloaded vlc-0.2.91.-1.i386rpm and similar gnome and
libdvdcss, although I think my system relates to i586. The latter for
mandrake showed 404 error when I tried to download so I 'browsed the
list' and found only the 386s. Could there be any problems involved
here?
