Thank you for your advice.
Now I installed vlc-0.8.1 on Fedora core 3 and it works well.
While I have another question.
I want to install vlc-0.8.1 on redhat 9 for some reason.
I got correspond version of vlc-0.8.1 in
http://downloads.videolan.org/pub/video ... pm/redhat/
and find those related rpms listed below from rpmfind.net.

xosd-2.2.12-1.0.rh9.dag.i386.rpm
xvidcore-1.0.3-1.0.rh9.rf.i386.rpm
at first, I install them by rpm -U *,
then I install the vlc-0.8.1 by rpm -ivh videolan-client-0.8.1-1.0.rh9.rf.i386.rpm
they all went well and successed, and I can load vlc to see its GUI,
BUT when I chose an mpeg2 file to play, it responses nothing,
no picture display, no sound, and it can be closed normally.
I don't know what's wrong?
