I have installed Linux (Red hat Enterprise 5.3 and Ubuntu 9.4) , I have downloaded VLC, Mplayer tried to install this application with no success.Is there a linux os that has players and codec installed already , when installing.

You could say at which part You had "no success". It is advised to check readme files of the source package.

Error 1 : Could not find libmad on your system (RedHat Enterprise 5.3) and Error 2 : Glib >=1.2.2 not installed - please install. When trying to install VLC.

In ubuntu open Synaptic software manager, search and install "ubuntu-restricted-extras". Or if you want to do it in command line, execute:
Code:
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras For RedHat, I think its better to enable dag repo. See instructions here: http://dag.wieers.com/rpm/FAQ.php#B After installing repo, update the system as root with Code:
yum update Code:
yum install glib |
Instead use the package manager to install the software directly.
On Ubuntu go to System > Administration > Synaptic. Give your password and search for vlc. Install it. Search for mplayer. Install it. For RHEL5, if you do not have the paid subscription from RH, it is likely you wont be able to use yum. You will need to configure yum to use CentOS repositories to install packages. On RHEL5 do as super user yum install vlc mplayer |
Thanks for your help guys , I think because I don't have internet access at home , I can't update that softwares/plug ins.

Exactly, you need internet connection to install software through yum or synaptic.
