Compile from source. I had this kind of problem when installing pre-built packages.

ok,

i tried to compile it from source, but the configure-script aborts:

Code:

checking mad.h usability... no
checking mad.h presence... no
checking for mad.h... no
configure: error: Could not find libmad on your system: you may get it from http://www.underbit.com/products/mad/. Alternatively you can use --disable-mad to disable the mad plugin.

so i downloaded libmad-0.15.1b-3.2.fc4.i386.rpm:

Code:

[root@supersucker appz]# rpm -ivh libmad-0.15.1b-3.2.fc4.i386.rpm
Preparing...                ########################################### [100%]

        file /usr/lib/libmad.so.0.2.1 from install of libmad-0.15.1b-3.2.fc4 conflicts with file from package libmad-0.15.1b-3.2.fc4.rf
[root@supersucker appz]# rpm -Uvh libmad-0.15.1b-3.2.fc4.i386.rpm

        package libmad-0.15.1b-3.2.fc4.rf (which is newer than libmad-0.15.1b-3.2.fc4) is already installed

???

has anybody an idea what to do about that?

thx in advance

Easy way:
when compiling vlc, do:
./configure --disable-mad
