Dear Gem devs!

I would really like make use of the possibilities of opening video with vlc backend, but i don*t get the vlc plugin to work.

i compiled Gem modifying the configure like this:

PKG_LIBVLC_CFLAGS=-I/Applications/VLC.app/Contents/MacOS/include 
PKG_LIBVLC_LIBS="-L/Applications/VLC.app/Contents/MacOS/lib -lvlc" 
./configure
--with-pd=/Applications/Pd-0.43.1-extended.app/Contents/Resources/include/pd/ --enable-fat-binary=i386 
--with-ftgl-includes=/sw/include/ --with-libvlc-includes=-I/Applications/VLC.app/Contents/MacOS/include 
--with-libvlc-libs="-L/Applications/VLC.app/Contents/MacOS/lib -lvlc"

i get the "gem_videoVLC.so" file but when i start pd through terminal i can read:

pattern : ./gem_video*.so
dylib loading file './gem_videoDarwin.so'!
dylib loading file './gem_videoVLC.so'!
library loading returned: dlerror 'dlopen(./gem_videoVLC.so, 2): Symbol not found: _libvlc_media_add_option
 Referenced from: /Library/Pd/Gem/gem_videoVLC.so
 Expected in: flat namespace
in /Library/Pd/Gem/gem_videoVLC.so'

and in Pd there is only the darwin backend found when i create [pix_video]

[pix_video]: backend #0='Darwin'	: darwin dv iidc analog 


does anyone know how to solve this? 

i am not experienced with compiling, so i have no clue how to proceed.
I found a list discussion where similar problem was discussed, but not solved.


i use OSX 10.6.8 and pd-extended-0.43.1

i compiled Gem from git so it shows at pd startup:

GEM: ver: 0.93.git 305f6a6


thanks in advance

John

ps: i love gem, and vlc would make it even lovelier
