VLC doesn't start

dreyfuss · 02-08-2008, 05:20 AM

Hi all.When i try to start VLC,i get this message:

Code:

vlc: error while loading shared libraries: libavformat.so.51: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Where can i download libavformat,pls?Thanx.

libavformat comes with FFmpeg package. You can find the package at http://www.linuxpackages.net/ or http://slackbuilds.org/.

I think libavformat comes with ffmpeg - a built package can be found on Slacky.eu - an Italian Slackware site.

http://repository.slacky.eu/slackwar...mpeg/20070925/

Or if you prefer to build your own - there is a Slackbuild on Slackbuilds.org http://slackbuilds.org/repository/12...imedia/ffmpeg/

Both are good sites for getting Slackware packages/builds.

Thanx so much.I have installed ffmpeg but now i get this output:

Code:

Did you see that it says to compile wxwidgets? Stick with 2.6.4...

dreyfuss · 02-08-2008, 01:42 PM

I have installed wxwidgets but the output doesn't change.

At http://www.slackware.com/~alien/slackbuilds/vlc/ you can find a VLC package that does not need any other packages to work. All the additional functionality is compiled right into the pacakge.

Installation of libdvdcss is optional in case you want to play encrypted DVD's (i.e. the majority of DVD's on the market).

Thank you so much,Alien Bob.What vlc package are you meaning,pls?Under "build" or "pkg"?Pls let me know.

jong357 · 02-10-2008, 08:13 AM

I guess it depends on whether you want a precompiled package that you install with 'installpkg' or whether you want to build it from source.

I'd opt for the 'pkg' myself...

Hey Eric, I can't believe I'm asking this but.... Anyway you could extend the length of your Name field in ~alien? The only way I can find specific stuff on your site is to hover over each one and look at the bottom link...

Aren't I knit picky?

Hi jong357

How do you mean? On my slackbuilds site? I don't find a place where the 'name' field is too small to encompass the full names...

I think he means where for instance packages are listed in a directory you only see the first the 20 or so characters of the path/filename. This is an option in apache for style but I don't remember it off hand. When the style is turned off full filenames will be listed like

h ttp://www.slackware.com/~alien/slackbuilds/TiMidity++/pkg/10.2/TiMidity++-2.13.2-i486-1.tgz.md5

for example in

http://www.slackware.com/~alien/slac...ty++/pkg/10.2/

Well, the VLC directory does for me but perhaps it's because I bump my default font up a tad since I'm going blind..

Pretty sure that:

Code:

IndexOptions +NameWidth=*

Will make the field only as long as the longest name. And ofcourse it's browser dependent so it'll probably look a little longer for me than it does you. If you can already see the full file names for all vlc stuff then it won't even do anything on your browser. But for me, it'll expand the name column so I can see everything.

No biggie. Just time consuming mousing over every one cause the extensions are cut off.

Right, I think... I'm not talking about the header. Extra long header path names just give you a bottom scrollbar. No biggie. I'm talking about the actual Name Listings. All I see there is 5 listings of:

TiMidity++-2.13.2-i4..>

Impossible to tell what is what. I've been wanting to email Pat about this too but I've bugged him about so many 'little' things in the past that I probably go straight to his spam box now.. :-) I'm still not seeing setup.info or setup.icon-cache included in their respective packages...

That's a joke by the way...
