It did eventually work though. This was with 0.8.5. I got all of the components from the VLC download, since I figured using the same versions that the VLC team did should save me further headaches. The whole reason I did this was because the 0.8.4 RPM version that will install on Centos 4.4 does not work. It complains about 'wxwidgets' missing. I found numerous posts from people with the same problem, but no-one who managed to make it work. Tom
