VLC does not load

[jerryf196]

Hi,

I am using PE 1.1

I emerged VLC and when I try to run it the program it just closes right away.

This is the error I get in the terminal:

VLC media player 0.8.6c Janus

I typed "vlc" into the SL Forum Search box and it came up with the following thread, which looks like it could be the same problem:

viewtopic.php?f=5&t=11521&p=68299&hilit=vlc#p68299

so I recommend you try the solution in that thread.

[jerryf196]

ok cool

But as i see on this thread it crashes only after a compiz-fusion update. I don't have any compiz-fusion running but either way i will try this solution

Thanks

[jerryf196]

nope still doesn't work but i do get a different error

VLC media player 0.8.6c Janus
Segmentation fault

That's it!

[Fitzcarraldo]

Have you got the missing global USE flags in /etc/make.conf? See:

viewtopic.php?f=57&t=10558

and

viewtopic.php?f=59&t=11823&st=0&sk=t&sd=a#p67993

Then try emerging VLC again.

[jerryf196]

ok i got it to work but now my audacious player doesn't work. hehehehehehe

I installed wxGTK-2.6.4.0-r1 then vlc and it worked but now the other player doesn't work!

Any clues?

[Fitzcarraldo]

Try re-emerging the other media players.

[jerryf196]

Try re-emerging the other media players.

Any specific ones? Because I only installed aduacious and vlc.

Let me know which ones i should remerge and I will do it

thanks

[Fitzcarraldo]

Just Audacious if that's the only one you've got installed apart from vlc. I remember having to re-emerge Audacious too at one point, although I can't recall whether it was due to the same problem.

[jerryf196]

I do have other media players like Amorak, Mplayer which they were installed all by default
