You need to install other dependent packages to install these two packages installed. If you have yum installed already, then you can install a free repository and then you can install either of these through it as yum is capable of resolving all its dependencies.

Try

Code:

yum localinstall xmms-1.2.11-37.el5.i386.rpm

Code:

yum localinstall Winamp-0.a1-1.i386.rpm

Even local install is going to ask for other dependent packages to be there.

if you are using RHEL 5, Try:

Code:

rpm -Uhv http://apt.sw.be/redhat/el5/en/i386/rpmforge/RPMS/rpmforge-release-0.3.6-1.el5.rf.i386.rpm
yum install xmms xmms-mp3 xmms-faad2 xmms-pulse xmms-skins
yum install mplayer mplayer-gui gecko-mediaplayer mencoder

I hope these serves your purpose.

localinstall installs from local rpm files. Why dont you just try installing from the repository directly.

Just type following and see how it goes.

[code]
yum install xmms
[code]

Did you try the one that I have given earlier?

HI

i think first u need to have yum installed for which u need to create a repo server as below

* mount /dev/dvd /mnt
* cd /mnt/Server -------- Go to Server directory and install vsftpd package
* rpm -ivh vsftpd* createrepo*
* rsync -avz /mnt/* /var/ftp/pub
then check the contents in pub and unmount /mnt
* umount /mnt
-- then create repo of /var/ftp/pub
* createrepo -v /var/ftp/pub
* service vsftpd restart
* chkconfig vsftpd on

This we have created a repository server after which for configuring yourself to configure the rpm files go to
* vim /etc/yum.repos.d/rhel-debuginfo.repo --- in which change base url as
ftp://ur ip address/pub
enabled=1
then save and exit
after which type * yum clean all
* yum list ------------ to show the list

this is the way i did to configure my yum from a dvd

after which install the packages with dependencies

* yum install -y http* ------( here instead of http use ur pacakage to be installed with dependencies)
