hey...

i have faced lot of problem while installing through yum...i manually downloaded some lib rpms and vlc rpms....if u want u can it out from the following link

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=WQ2D7HKT

you cannot run from root...logged in as a normal user...then u can run it...

i am using this right now...i dont have any problem...

Cheers!

if you go and randomly install rpm's -- you will ,sooner than latter , kill the OS AND have many,many,many conflicts . that IS NOT RECOMMENDED .

that sais it all
you did not pay red hat to get updates or install software from red hat
RHEL5 is NOT FREE

you will want to use the CentOS repos
BUT
that might kill rhel5.1 ( the NOT updated version )
the current version of RHEL5 is RHEL5.4


pay red hat for updates or install CentOS 5.4
