VLC and Ubuntu 10.04

[kados]

Ok, I have a good one for you gurus.

I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 on an Acer laptop. Everything runs like a damn charm, and I love it, but now VLC is crapped out.

when I type vlc in terminal it waits a bit, then just says "bus error"

I've removed via apt-get and reinstalled, same error. I've googled the problem and nothing seems to work. Its sad, VLC is my favorite media player, and it wont work.

Any help will be appreciated.

Have you tried to purge it?

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get --purge remove vlc
sudo apt-get clean all
sudo apt-get install vlc

[kados]

tried that, again, no go this is what I get


kados@kados-laptop:~$ vlc
VLC media player 1.0.6 Goldeneye
Bus error

I tried to compile VLC from the source, after downloading all the required files, doing configure, make, make install, now I get this
