what should i do?a similar "unable to find dbus" appears when i shutdown my system

How about installing DBus? If you're using a binary distro, then you'll also have to install the DBus development files. If you told us which distro you're using, someone could probably tell you the exact name of the package to install using your package manager.

gutsy is the distro i am using

I am having the same problem and I am using the Fedora 11 distro. What would be the packages I would need to install? Thanks.

install dbus-devel

On fedora 13 i had to install all this packages to compile VLC 1.1.2

Hi

I am using Fedora5 distro. Can you tell how can i resolve this in my system.
