You need to have Installed "libdvdcss package" with the current file repositories. That is do the following :

At terminal do the following :

Code:

apt-get install libavcodec-dev libpostproc-dev

Set the following Configurations for the Package to work :

Code:

./configure --enable-shared --enable-shared-pp --enable-pp --enable-gpl

If path of "ffmpeg" is not set. Locate the file "libavcodec.pc" on your computer, and export "PKG_CONFIG_PATH" to where you found it before running "./configure". For example :

Code:

export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/home/you/ffmpeg/

The "./configure" flags for "ffmpeg" becomes the following :

Code:

./configure --enable-postproc --enable-shared --enable-gpl

Now you should get the symbolic link for 'postprocess', that is "postproc" :

Code:

root @ svr (/usr/src/vlc-0.8.6f)locate postprocess.h /usr/local/include/libpostproc/postprocess.h root @ svr (/usr/src/vlc-0.8.6f)cd /usr/local/include/ root @ svr (/usr/local/include)ln -s libpostproc postproc

This should get you the link.
If you are on x64 version, a little glitch can go on, such as the postproc command will not work and return you an error [Specific err0r is InvalidOption_gcc]. Do the following to fix it :

Code:

root @ p01 (/usr/src/vlc-0.8.6f)gcc --version gcc (GCC) 4.1.2

Code:

root @ p01 (/usr/src/vlc-0.8.6f)uname -a Linux p01 2.6.24.3 #2 SMP Tue Apr 8 12:01:03 EDT 2008 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Code:

root @ p01 (/usr/src/vlc-0.8.6f)grep tune= config.log configure:37114: checking whether gcc accepts -mtune=athlon64 configure:37125: gcc -c -Wsign-compare -Wall -pipe -mtune=athlon64 -DSYS_LINUX conftest.c >&5

Code:

root @ p01 (/usr/src/vlc-0.8.6f)grep cpu= config.log build_cpu='x86_64' host_cpu='x86_64' target_cpu='x86_64'

For other errors except the "Invalid Option' error, you don't have a choice but downgrade to x32.
Good Luck.
