My problem started after i decided to blow away my laptop HDD, and install a fresh copy of 4.3 on there, cvsup'd and started building ports. Since this I get the same error. Prior to this, i was running 4.3-stable and vlc ran fine (on the same laptop). I am hoping to prove this buy doing the same to one of my desktops, to see if the same problem occurs, and see what might have changed between the configurations to cause this. BTW: my other 2 box's that are running it correctly. both are 4.3 (various versions of -stable) and are running the latest version of vlc (from ports) -- Andrew To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
