Can anyone help me with VLC?
« on: February 29, 2004, 12:20:27 am »
I just finished installing VLC on an sl5600. I did as the instructions said, and installed all the packages that vlc depends on. When I go to the shell prompt, and type: \"vlc\" I get: :cry:

vlc: error while loading shared libraries: librt.so.1: cannot load shared object files: No such file or directory

Thnx for the help in advance.

You need the librt.so.1 library. See whether there\'s anything matching librt.so.* on your Z.

If you find something like this: librt.so.1.x, then create a symlink:

ln -s librt.so.1.x librt.so.1

and you should be away.

Thanks, that worked, but now I have another problem. I receive the audio stream, but no video.

Has anybody really succeeded with installing the zaurus port of VLC on a 5600? I cant understand how it is possible since the port is an ARM port, while the 5600 is an Xscale port.

Any info is welcome.

Have you tried any version so far.
I think this version works well with my SL-5600 with ROM version 1.32C

Yes i did try version 0.5.3 somewhere and then the 0.7.0 version. Didnt work. Plus I am kinda confused with the plethora of variations in the zaurus models, kernel versions, ROM versions, vlc versions, cache bug reports in 5600, etc. etc.

But thanks for the link. I will try it. But if you could post a more detailed howto, i would be indebted.  

Regards,
A

Same installation instructions as listed at http://videolan.org/vlc/download-zaurus.html, except that you use version 0.6.0C instead.

Remember to remove all old version of VLC before installing this one.
