what is the key id dnt understand
pls help me...........

You have a problem with dependencies. You have to get these as well as the vlc file itself.
You can visit rpm.pbone.net which has a java dependency plugin that will work out the dependencies for you.

Also, you can add extra repositories that have vlc in them and this will allow you to install vlc with dependencis fixed.


There are two ways to proceed so far as the key is concerned. Either get the key which is a short file that is used to confirm that the package you are installing really is the vlc package and not some adapted one. This is usually available from the cource you got the program.

OR

edit /etc/yum.conf and comment out the gpgcheck=1 line

do this by putting a # symbol at the start of the line

then

yum localinstall yourvlcrpm.rpm

http://apt.sw.be/redhat/el6/en/i386/...l6.rf.i686.rpm
# rpm -Uvh rpmforge-release-0.5.2-2.el6.rf.i686.rpm

# yum install --nogpgcheck vlc
( Or # yum localinstall --nogpgcheck vlc-1.1.11-1.el6.rf.i686.rpm ).

I don't think, you can install the 41 dependencies manually.

To install the two yum tools you MUST have a active and paid for support license !!!
