    Cannot instal VLC media on Ubuntu 6.1

    After use the command:
    ./configure
    It says: error, cannot install, see config.log for details.
    And the config.log says: version>5

    So, the VLC Media only run on Ubuntu 5 ? I dont want to use old version, or my installion is failed ?

    What tech_man is implying is that VLC and its assorted dependencies are available in apt's repositories and that you should use apt-get to install it. Trying to install it from source will only be a pain in your side.
    Code:
    $sudo apt-get install vlc
    will take care of the installation of VLC if you have an internet connection. To get other things working (Windows codecs, DVD's, etc.) may require some more effort.
