[vlc] running vlc on linux

[Mona MATHUR]

Hi !!


    I have been trying to install vlc on a linux machine running Redhat
Linux 2.4.0 Enterpise version. 
The source code downloaded from videolan site for vlc version 0.8.4a was
compiled with ffmpeg-0.4.9-pre1 and gcc version 4.0.2. VLC was compiled
sucessfully. But when I run vlc by the comand
vlc -vvv video1.xyz

It simply displays a blue screen but no movie is shown or sound is heard.
Also the vlc menu is not seen as can be seen on a windows PC running
windows-2000.

Can anyone tell me why??

thanks and regards
mona mathur
