vlc does not start

[Dirk Lerner]

Hi all,

I have a problem and no clue how to solve :)

First, I have two PCs with SuSE 7.3. On both I compiled vlc 0.9.2:

./configure
make vlc
make install

On the first one I can start vlc typing vlc as every user and the gtk
frontent appears and I can watch DVDs. By the way, the best player I 
think :)

On the second PC after typing vlc I just get:

:~> vlc
VideoLAN Client - version 0.2.92_2002-03-02 Ourumov - (C)1996-2001 VideoLAN

and nothing more.
With strace I get the following error:

[...]

and so on...
Why is it searching for vlc.channels? I don't have this file on both 
systems...

Any hints?

Dirk
