The first dvd probably wasn't scrambled with css.

This message tells that ogle can't find libdvdcss

Unfortunately that dir isn't part of the search path for libdvdcss.so...

You should be able to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to point to the lib dir where
you installed libdvdcss.  Example (if you installed the libdvdcss libraries in /home/mydir/libdvdcss/lib):
tcsh:
setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH /home/mydir/libdvdcss/lib
ogle ...

sh:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/mydir/libdvdcss/lib
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
ogle ...

or maybe an easier aproach when you install in your own directory is
to tell libdvdread at compile time where to find and link libdvdcss.
When you configure libdvdread you should do this:
./configure --with-libdvdcss=/home/mydir/libdvdcss
if you installed libdvdcss with --prefix=/home/mydir/libdvdcss.

Also as you are compiling ogle yourself you might want to use
the latest cvs version available as tar.gz at:
www.dtek.chalmers.se/~dvd/dist/ogle-0.9.2-cvs.tar.gz
www.dtek.chalmers.se/~dvd/dist/ogle_gui-0.9.2-cvs.tar.gz
(these haven't been tested much on solaris though, so feel free to report
any problems)

Hope this helps,
