problem installing vlc in fedora 11

Hi all,

I have problem in installing vlc in fedora 11

yum install vlc
Loaded plugins: refresh-packagekit
Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: fedora. Please verify its path and try again

please do the needful

Regards

Not sure what your problem is, but have you considered MPlayer as an alternative to VLC?

You can even download and install it manually if your yum / packagekit it broken (as it appears to be)...

The "Cannot retrieve repository metadata ..." message indicates that your yum configuration is not set up properly: yum can not find any valid repositories, so there is no location to download the application from. This is not specific to vlc - yum will not load any other software as well.

if i try to install manually

after ./configure

if i try to make then it is showing like this

# make
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.

please do the needful

configured in this context is NOT "./configure"

and by installing a version of yum that overwrite the ALREADY installed yum you might have KILLED it .

configuring yum means that you need to point it to the repo files in /ect/yum.repos.d/ folder
and those files NEED to point to a server

vlc won't install for me either.

I too cannot install vlc.
Yum reports: "Missing Dependency: qt-x11(x86-64) >= 1:4.5.2 is needed by package vlc-1.0.0-1.fc11.x86_64 (rpmfusion-free-updates)"
I have qt-x11-4.5.1-13.fc11.x86_64
Any ideas?
