We're having problems running the newest VLC (0.8.5). It was suggested on VLC forums that wxgtk be recompiled with --enable-unicode and VLC recompiled against it. This solution worked for me. Only lines that were changed the ./configure lines in both build_gtk lines. My PKGBUILD is attached.

wxgtk compiles with --enable-unicode by default. It's a bug in vlc to link with the non-unicode version, wx-config gives compile and link flags to compile with the unicode version of wxgtk when no environment vars for wxgtk choice are set.

You are absolutely right. I uninstalled both and re-installed wxgtk from pacman, then rebuilt VLC from abs and it seems to work now without a problem. For some reason VLC still needs to be recompiled, so should I file another bug report?

Simply changing --enable wxwindows to --enable wxwidgets in the PKGBUILD fixes this issue. See the bbs thread referenced in the original bug report above, as well as this older thread on the same issue: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?t=21702
