I have mozilla and mozilla-devel installed but the configure line returns stating that mozilla-config was not found. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): mozilla-devel-1.7.13-1.1.fc5 mozilla-1.7.13-1.1.fc5 VLC SVN Revision 16118 though I believe the same error occurs on 0.8.5 just with a different error message. How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Check out VLC SVN Release 2. Ensure you have mozilla and mozilla-devel installed 3. Run the following configure line ./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-mozilla --enable-mpeg2dec --disable-mad --disable-wxwidgets --with-mozilla-sdk=/usr/lib/mozilla-1.7.12/ Actual results: checking for gnutls/gnutls.h... no checking whether the byte order is big-endian... no checking for mozilla-config... no checking for xulrunner-config... no configure: error: Please install the Mozilla development tools, mozilla-config was not found. Expected results: Configure to complete correctly. Additional info: Neither mozilla-config or xulrunner-config are present on the system. [root@bloodhound3 vlc_trunk]# locate mozilla-config /usr/include/mozilla-1.7.13/mozilla-config.h [root@bloodhound3 vlc_trunk]# locate xulrunner [root@bloodhound3 vlc_trunk]#
