Problems Installing VLC Player.
I'm using RHEL 4 WS.
I tried installing VLC on my system. I tried with the source files also with the RPMs of EL4 and FC4 still i'm unable to install it. When i try with the rpms, it says dependencies missing. when i try to compile the source, it says ffmpeg/avcodec.h is missing or not there. I tried placing the file there but still i'm unable to compile it. the same message keeps coming up. Please help me to install it. |
I don't know...
You could try using the --no-deps option to RPM. But that could result in VLC not working because of missing dependencies. |
I'm also new to linux and am having the same problem. when I try to install the rpm i get a "error: Failed dependencies." and when I try "--nodeps" I get "error: can't create transaction lock" I have no idea what this means. Any help?

If you know the dependencies you could install them, then VLC.
|
ok. but the list just keeps on going.
i've installed some 20 dependencies. still after everytime i still end up with last 5 dependencies and i'm unable to find them anywhere. I've been searching for them for the last 2 weeks. Ok. I think the ones for EL3 or FC3 should work fine with EL4, is that right? Or will unstability occur? |
they should be fine, but VLC is dependent on those libs etc. so it's obviously ging to miss some of it's functionality without those, i would have thought the VLC website would have links to the deps no?
|
You guys are great help, thank you!

Hey Jordan,
Don't try the --nodeps option. VLC will not work even if get installed without errors. Try to download and install all the dependencies manually. Try to search in Google or http:\\rpm.pbone.net If you can get all the dependencies lemme know. All the Best. |
