Trying to install vlc 0.86c on redhat 5 (centos 5 really) I get a large number of failed depencies (missing files).

If it was complaining about missing rpms I would know what to do, but missing files and such a large number is a real pain.

Can anyone tell me what to do please?

Below is the output when I try to install:

rpm -i vlc-0.8.6c-1.el5.rf.i386.rpm

You should install the missing package from the same repository you retreived vlc

FYI the livna repository plans to make vlc package (with the rpmfusion.org merge) for RHEL (and CentOS).

thanks kwizart, but you are saying to install the other rpms but you don't say which and from which URL...

My dependencies are on library files, which is not as nice as rpms.

Here is the most up2date srpms, you can also take the one from the Fedora 6 repository and rebuild them...
