I believe that my original kernel headers were 2.6.12. The headers that VLC was looking for were the DCCP related ones ones that are available with the 2.6.26.5 kernel that I had just installed. > According to the kernel devs, or at least last time I _heard_ (hearsay) > anything about the subject, the answer was that the VLC maintainers > failed to include the necessary kernel headers in the distribution > tarball and provide a runtime check of the kernel for the necessary > feature(s).

Thanks to both of you for the help, but I'm still unclear as to whether there is a workaround when the necessary headers aren't included with the package.
