    Is there any reason for using Fedora 9 only? It's not supported by Fedora Team and you will face a lot dependency problems during package installation.

    I would suggest you to switch to latest version, Fedora 13, if possible.
    It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.

    I can be found either 40 miles west of Chicago, or in a galaxy far, far away.

    VLC 1.1.4 is the latest. Some options are not available for FC9. As indicated by the configuration tool, you can disable some of them with the --disable-option argument. In your case, to disable support for LUA, do this: ./configure --disable-lua
    This is what the message said. That will configure the package to build without LUA support. You will also probably get other errors. You can try to find/install those packages (including LUA), but some may not build and/or work on FC9. Good luck.
    Sometimes, real fast is almost as good as real time.
