[vlc] Compiling and running VLC from source code on Linux

[Ms.Upstream]

Hi,
I am working on a streaming algorithm for MPEG2 TS files, using a modified
live555 library and my own RTSP streaming server (using RTP).
I would like to write a client that can receive the stream I am transmitting
so I can actually watch it. For this I am hoping to use VLC, but will have
to make some small additions/changes in the source code and live555 to make
it work. However, I am stuck at the compilation :(
I have done some google searches, and found many with similar errors, but
haven't found any good solution. So, here goes...

I am using Ubuntu 7.10. I dowloaded the tar-ball with version vlc-0.8.6h and
extracted the source code.
I also have an existing VLC installation (used apt-get), but I am seeking to
just run my own version from the location where I have put the source code.
After extracting the source code I have done the folllowing steps:
username at desktop:~/master/vlc-0.8.6h$ ./configure --enable-live555
--with-live555-tree=/home/username/live
username at desktop:~/master/vlc-0.8.6h$ make
username at desktop:~/master/vlc-0.8.6h$ ./vlc
VLC media player 0.8.6h Janus
[00000017] main interface error: no interface module matched "hotkeys,none"
[00000017] main interface error: no suitable interface module
[00000001] main private error: interface "hotkeys,none" initialization
failed
[00000018] main interface error: no interface module matched

[00000018] main interface error: no suitable interface module

[00000019] main interface error: no interface module matched "any"
[00000019] main interface error: no suitable interface module
[00000001] main private error: interface "(null)" initialization failed


Prior to this I attempted downloading the source code with git (including
the necessary libraries - I believe), but got the same (or at least similar)
error message. (I also tried to use sudo for various steps without any luck
at that either.)

Can anyone help me in the right direction to get VLC up and running from the
source code? I need to have it configured with my own version of live555
enabled, and preferably x11.

Thanks for any help!
