what about

Code: Select all

yum install videolan-client
?

i've heard of people having problems with that, tho. since im not a fedora expert, you might want to google for "+vlc +yum.conf".

if you seriously want to compile everything on your own, then have a look at the "*nix Compile HOWTO" at http://developers.videolan.org/vlc/ . reading this is mandatory as well.
when i first compiled VLC on my own, fetching and compiling the dependencies (libraries) took me more than 3 hours. so if you want a quick solution, my suggestion is: try to use yum.
