VLC doesn't install on SuSE SLED 10 SP2

[runbei]

When I try to install VLC on SLED 10 SP2, I get a bunch of missing dependencies, starting with libpostproc.so.51. Yast says it doesn't have a source for these files. Any idea which repo has them?

Hi,

I can feel your pain. Experienced exactly the same problem using SLED 10 sp2.
Went to the ftp archive (http://download.videolan.org/pub/videol ... SuSE/10.1/)
-> read somewhere SLED 10 sp2 is based on Open Suse 10.1

Checked the missing libraries

Unresolved dependencies:

Found most of the packages on the SLED 10 sp2 media. At least when I installed all the missing packages I got only
one error message:

Guess something is fundamentally wrong on my installation.

BTW my experience by installing the plugin for Mozilla (SUSE/2.0.0.14-0.4 Firefox/2.0.0.14) was similar.

Hey, I found the following Packman repository on an openSUSE forum:

Packman
protocol - HTTP
server name - packman.unixheads.com
Directories - suse/10.1/

From there I installed VLC, i skipped all missing dependencies and it installed allright. I think the missing dependencies are only to decode Matroska files. Doing so I downloaded some avi files and the player played them well
