hi Malcolm, i did what you said, and got passed the liboil error using the gst-plugins-bad-0.10.17(&19) version (17 with SP1 multimedia pack, 19 with SP3 multimedia pack). using version 22 as it comes with the pack, i still get the error from the opening of this thread. but now i get another error (after moving on with the liboil on 17&19 version), this time from a tool: make[3]: Entering directory `/tmp/tmp.JySMnJaL2j/ext/cog’ GEN cogorc.c /usr/bin/orcc: symbol lookup error: /usr/bin/orcc: undefined symbol: orc\_bytecode\_from\_program make[3]: \*\*\* [cogorc.c] Error 127 the version of the tool is Orc Compiler 0.4.17 what is your advice for this one? thanks. ---

i uninstalled orc…and it worked, even with the 22 version. i see this package is only for totem/banshee, not for vlc (vlc does not play my test video yet) is there anything else that needs to be done to activate ATI video acceleration? i see it is obviously missing, fps is very low. thank you very much! ---

yes. the initial install was from packman repo. what is the best way to install vlc on this system, besides compiling the sources? i’ve seen some report on [http://www.suse.in.th/how-tofaq-%28beginner-skill%29/how-to-installing-vlc-on-sled-11-sp1/](http://www.suse.in.th/how-tofaq-%28beginner-skill%29/how-to-installing-vlc-on-sled-11-sp1/) that points to use opensuse repositories. thanks.
