Hello Linuxers

I am a Linux Lamer
I tried to install all VLC dependencies rpms (all are x586) with ZEN and after that VLC rpm (x586 suse 10.0) itself, during the dependencies were installed some was not installed ok, there were errormessages...
Then when installing the main VLC rpm, it wanted something like
"libmp3lame.so.0" but this is not listed on packman site in the
dependencies

can someone tell me how to use the terminal to install an rpm?
maybe ZEN is buggy....

or what did i make wrong

any help appreciated

here is the link were i found the rpms

Then when installing the main VLC rpm, it wanted something like
"libmp3lame.so.0" but this is not listed on packman site in the
dependencies

Install http://packman.links2linux.de/package/Lame and contact the maintainer of the RPM that lame isn't listed in the dependency.

Make sure PackMan is added to your smart channel. Install vlc as root:

"smart install vlc"

I used the packman vlc to install VLC on SUSE 10 a couple of months back, I think this is how I installed it to get it working.

Download the VLC media player file + all of the dependencies listed

Following the download of these dependencies, search for the following dependencies on the following website:
