could someone help me install vlc 1.1.10

[Michael Havens]

okay... it was late a late night when I wrote that last message but I am up
now fresh (sorta).
WHen I run ./configure the last line it spits out is:

   configure: error: Couldn't find DBus >= 1.0.0, install libdbus-dev ?

Am I to assume that I need to compile libdbus-dev?
