    It is quite an involved guide but if followed carefully will give you a very fully-featured copy of vlc. Definitely not the same as adding a PPA though...

    i managed to do it. found out libraries were installed in /usr/local/lib instead of /usr/lib. have to run:

    Code:
    sudo ln -s /usr/local/lib/libvlc* /usr/lib/
    sudo ln -s /usr/local/lib/libx264.a /usr/lib/
    sudo ln -s /usr/local/lib/vlc /usr/lib/vlc

    If you're happy with what you have that's ok, but you should never have had to do that.
    Most likely caused by having some vlc libraires installed during the build or still installed now.
    (or some flaw in your build/packaging method
