I believe you have to issue the following comand after you've configured it :

./configure --enable-gui

You may be able to "just" do this, but I did this after a simple ./configure.

End-up with

make
make install

Heh I tried it and it looks like the URL is a pointer to a "No media player let's go get a plugin" URL. Nothig t o see here. You should probably look around for a ling to the video source/stream.
