That could well be the problem. I do have qt4 installed because I was
making a program with it.

I got it from

https://launchpad.net/~c-korn/+archive/vlc

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/c-korn/vlc/ubuntu hardy main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/c-korn/vlc/ubuntu hardy main

So thinking that I would give you the debug info I redid it, only this
time it worked. Why?? It could be that it is because there was a big
update before I did the install and I did not reboot. I rebooted since
then and now it works.

Running .9.9a

Thanks for the help anyway!
