Hi,
I have been having problems installing VLC on Fedora. After I have installed using YUM - everything is fine!!!
But when I run vlc and test it - rtsp://myserver/somefile.mp4
there are some problems with the GUI.

So then I downloaded and opened the vlc-binary.tar.gz
and installed the rpms manually. This works fine for most of the packages and fixes the GUI problem in vlc.

But then ... I get the dependency error for some of the packages

Error: Missing Dependency: libcddb.so.0 is needed by package vlc
Error: Missing Dependency: libcdio.so.5 is needed by package vlc
Error: Missing Dependency: libcdio.so.5(CDIO_5) is needed by package vlc

But I have checked that this is installed already using rpm -qil libcdio
and it is installed.

So my question is
1] is there some way to just download and install vlc from vlc-binary.tar.gz
and overcome the dependency problem.

2] is there some way to install vlc completely with the gui glitch using yum!

Thanks, kind regards,
Nikki
