What I'm really asking is, what did you do besides download enough 
libraries and include files so that configure and make went through 
without errors? 

I don't really see any instructions there for doing anything besides 
installing libraries and include files.  Except for the ffmpeg mess. 
But if you didn't do anything about that either...

When you say configuration web page, do you mean 
<http://wiki.videolan.org/Contrib_Status>? Or are we still talking 
about <http://wiki.videolan.org/UnixCompile>? 

I found that running "make" caught a couple of things that ./configure 
missed.

You mean you could build without errors? Or that after loading 
something mentioned in the web page that didn't produce a configure or 
make error, you got a build that didn't crash, whereas before, you got 
an apparently successful build that did crash? 

    Scott> Hope that helps...??? 

Well not yet, but I believe you may well know something I don't; you 
just haven't yet told me what it is so that I can act on it. 

Thanks for the help.  Actually, your initial message was the most 
helpful thing I've hit yet in trying to use the upstairs card 
downstairs.
