Well, I've been using vlc for some time now and had no problems.. For some strange reason when I try to start it now it gives the following error:
vlc: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libavcodec.so: undefined symbol: faacDecOpen
I'm in fluxbox (0.9.13)
Any ideas? I've uninstalled (pacman -U vlc) then re-installed (pacman -S vlc) - still the same.
I tried to build from abs, but it won't complete (I get the following on makepkg):
autopoint: *** cvs program not found
autopoint: *** Stop.
==> ERROR: Build Failed. Aborting...
The only thing I can think of that's changed is that I've been playing with xPlanet. I have the earth setup with current cloud/weather overlays as my background w/cron updating the .png every so often.
Thanks!

To fix the build error, I think you have to install cvs -- pacman -S cvs
dusty:~ $ pacman -Qo /usr/lib/libavcodec.so
/usr/lib/libavcodec.so is owned by ffmpeg 0.4.9.pre1-1
That information might help you too, though to be honest I don't know what you could do with it.
VLC works fine for me though, just so you know. My system is up to date.

Are you using faad2-devel from unstable? This version breaks with most packages compiled against the stable version.

Yep:
#pacman -Q faad2-devel
faad2-devel 2.0.cvs20040915-1
There's no telling what I've installed that loaded it.. ;-) I normally keep up with my packages very well, but spent the weekend playing around with a number of new packages and let it slip by.
But... When I try to install faad2 from current (and it tries to remove faad2-devel) I get the following:
error: this will break the following dependencies:
faad2-devel: is required by ffmpeg
Is it OK to force the faad2-devel remove and load of faad2? What's the best way to clean this up? :-)
Thanks!

Use:
pacman -Rd faad2-devel
pacman -S faad2
the -d option skips dependency checks.

Yeah Baby!
After moving back to faad2, vlc is back in action.
Thanks for the help!
