Sorry if this is well-known. I have googled but came up with nothing. (I am 
relatively new to FreeBSD.)

I am running 8.0-RELEASE. I am trying to build VLC with

# cd /usr/ports
# make install clean

But I get the message:

===>  vlc-1.0.3_4,3 is marked as broken: doesn't build with dirac.
*** Error code 1

I tried a 

# make config

but cannot find out how to turn off the dirac depends (is it possible?).

Thanks for any pointers.
