This code doesn't appear to compile. I am using gcc 3.4. But some of the problems are obvious, eg line 6, the parentheses don't match.

What version of libvlc was used to create the tutorial? Functions libvlc_media_... don't appear to exist in the latest release version, 0.8.6c. If an unreleased version is used for the tutorial, that would be fine, if the text mentioned that.
