			A2. The path of ffmpeg is not set. Check if you can locate the file '''libavcodec.pc''' on your computer; say you had find it in /home/you/ffmpeg/ . Export the PKG_CONFIG_PATH to this location:
			export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/home/you/ffmpeg/

			Then run ./configure for VLC.

	A. In the configure, there is an x_libraries variable there that is set to "/usr/X11R6/lib" (around line 16371). Because it is a 64 bit system, this variable needs to be /usr/X11R6/lib64.
