I running into some problems getting when i type

yum install k3b-mp3

i get the foll. error message

Resolving dependencies
....Unable to satisfy dependencies
Package k3b-mp3 needs libid3-3.8.so.3, this is not available.

Does anyone know what I need to do?

jw,

If you're missing dependencies, then you must install those packages in which dependencies are contained. Upon installing these, you may find that they too require dependencies... It can be a real pain...

However, using a package manager, you can sometimes check an option that automatically downloads and installs all dependencies... I'm sure RedHat has the option somewhere, though it's been some time since I played w/ my FC2 box...

Here's a link to someone who's had your problem before... Hope it helps...

You might want to have a look at www.rpmseek.com, and search for packages containing the file libid3-3.8.so.3.

I don't think the ID3 libs have any dependancies, so it should install straight away.

hey guys thanks for all the help. I'm thinking of why I didn't think of looking for an rpm which contained the file. I guess if it had said need id3lib I would have looked for it....
Anyway I got it and it seems to be working now

To find out which packages contain a certain library, run this command:

yum provides library.name.ver

This will tell you which packages have to install. You can then install them normally

yum install package.name

I got k3b able to burn MP3s after installing k3b-mp3. I still cannot play mp3s with the k3b audio player. I know I can use another audio player to play the mp3s before I burn them, but it would be more convenient if I could just use k3b. Anyone got k3b to preview mp3s before burning them?
