I'm trying to stream programs from a DVB-S Card using vlc. I have vlc
configured with the following command...

./configure --enable-optimize-memory --enable-dvb --enable-utf8
--enable-mostly-builtins --enable-screen --enable-png --enable-pvr
--enable-dvbpsi --enable-ffmpeg --disable-mad --disable-wxwindows
--disable-skins2 --disable-x11 --disable-xvideo --disable-glx
--disable-smb --disable-telnet --disable-httpd --disable-dvdnav
--disable-libcdio --disable-libcddb --disable-cdda --disable-vcd
--disable-ogg --disable-mkv --disable-mod --disable-dts
--disable-vorbis --disable-speex --disable-h264 --disable-cmml
--disable-opengl --disable-freetype --disable-fribidi
--disable-libxml2 --disable-fb --disable-oss --disable-alsa
--disable-visual --disable-daap --disable-joystick --disable-sdl
--with-dvbpsi-tree=/opt/libdvbpsi-20050420
--with-ffmpeg-tree=/opt/FFMpeg-20050420 --disable-dvd

which completes fine and make and make install complete fine. However
when I run the following command...

vlc --color --ttl 12  --ts-es-id-pid --programs 8508,8505 dvb:
--dvb-adapter=0 --dvb-frequency=11739000 --dvb-srate=27500000
--dvb-voltage=13 --dvb-fec=3 --dvb-budget-mode --sout
'#duplicate{dst=std{access=udp,mux=ts,url=address:3001},select="program=8508",dst=std{access=udp,mux=ts,url=address:3002},select="program=8505"}'

I get the following output...

VLC media player 0.8.4-svn Janus
vlc: unknown option or missing mandatory argument `--dvb-adapter=0'
Try `vlc --help' for more information.

this is the latest version of vlc straight from svn.

One thing i've noticed is that during configuring it says...

checking linux/dvb/version.h usability... no
checking linux/dvb/version.h presence... no
checking for linux/dvb/version.h... no
checking linux/dvb/frontend.h usability... no
checking linux/dvb/frontend.h presence... no
checking for linux/dvb/frontend.h... no

are these suppose to say yes for dvb to work? If so where does it look
for them and why didn't configure fail?

Thanks for your help

Mike
