if you are going to use some random rpm from the net and take the chance of really messing up your system
"el5" is for RHEL 5 .5 or CentOS 5.5
you need to use the "local install" option in yum
Please read the man page for yum or the help page
Code:
yum --help
----
man yum
and i take it you did not read the error in your post

you did NOT install it .

BUT you should install from one of the software repos that you set up yum to use.

it it in the CentOS rpmfusion-nonfree repo

install the rpmfusion repo
