ok. i have compiled vlc on another machine with the same o/s but im having problem with the shared libraries on the o/s which i copied the files to.the error i get is below: /home/jQKuDGtE/vlc-0.9.6/bin/.libs/lt-vlc: error while loading shared libraries: libvlc.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory is there a way to compile vlc by telling vlc no to create shared libraries?
