You would have notice that modules/access/rtsp/access.c get compiled in
a module whose description string is "Real RTSP"   and that there is
another rtsp module in modules/demux/live555.com.

So i suggest you try to get and compile live555 for your OS and
recompile VLC or use a precompile version ( or blame the maintaner of
your distro if he hasn't included live555)

hth,
