[vlc] Re: Can't run vlc 0.8.2

[Greg Hosler]

Hi,

I recently (just a few days ago) build vlc 8.2 from the src.rpm found ar
freshrpms.net, and I didn't have this problem. worked out of the box (well, I
did recompile all needed dependencies) on a FC-3 system...

I used the wxGTK-2.4.2-5.1.fc3.fr.src.rpm found at frechrpms.net

best rgds,

-Greg
