Not sure about your OS Platform, but from my experience the two ways I know of installing RPM's are
Code: Select all
sudo rpm -ivh (followed by the title of the RPM)
&
Code: Select all
rpm -Uvh (followed by the title of the RPM)
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:
http://rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/searc ... tem=&arch=
Looking for libxosd & libdvdnav
Then install the following dependencies + vlc player in the following order:
sudo rpm -ivh a52dec-0.7.4-3.pm.1.i586.rpm
sudo rpm -ivh libmp4v2-1.4.1-2.i586.rpm ? you'll find it at
http://packman.iu-bremen.de/suse/10.1/i586/
sudo rpm -ivh faad2-2.0-0.pm.8.i586.rpm
sudo rpm -ivh faac-1.24-0.pm.3.i586.rpm
sudo rpm -ivh lame-3.96.1-2.i586.rpm

sudo rpm -ivh libdvdnav-0.1.10-3.i586.rpm

Then finally install the VLC player rpm.

To run, type ./vlc &
Hope this helps.
