GnackTrack - How to run VLC in root

wget -c http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/vlc/1.1.7/vlc-1.1.7.tar.bz2
tar -xvf vlc-1.1.7.tar.bz2
cd vlc-1.1.7
apt-get build-dep vlc
./configure --enable-run-as-root
make
make install
------------------------------
start it from command line, (simply type vlc or /usr/local/bin/vlc) it may give you an error about libvlc.so, if it does run:

apt-get install libvlc-dev libvlc2
