Maybe there is a difference in the quarterly packages and a checkout of /usr/ports which makes vlc, etc. buildable from ports, but is not in the quarterly pkgs yet. Just an educated guess but I might be wrong. There was http://portsmon.freebsd.org/portoverview.py?category=multimedia&portname=vlc in the past, showing why a pkg is not being build, but it is broken for a while already. Regards, Ronald.
