Dear all,

I am new in Linux world. I have installed RHEL 3. Can anyone tell me is there any software available like msn messenger and media player. do tell me where to get and how to install

For IM you can use gaim or aMSN

For a media player you could use mplayer, xine, xmms, amorak

Have a look at the member choics awards, that ought to give you an idea of the most popular software for different tasks

i have downloaded rpm file for mplayer and when i run it following files missing errors come:
Libxinerama.so.1 missing
LibxXf86dga.so.1
LibxXf86vm.so.1
libasound.so.2
libasound.so.2(ALSA_0.9)
libasound.so.2(ALSA_0.9.0rc)
libmp3lame.so.0

morever i think i dun have tcl library becoz amsn says tcl library missing. Is dat so?

Please help in getting doze files. Morever where i can get vmware from . Is it a free software. But i think it would be requiring images. Heard from someone. Kindly reply

i think dependencies are missing. How to get it?

If you search google for those files I think you'll find that you need to install xorg-x11-libs, alsa-lib and lame.

If aMSN says that the tcl library is missing then it is most likely true.

Can you be a bit more specific?

You can get vmware from their website: http://www.vmware.com/

i mean to say i have downloaded the tcltk library but how to run or in other words how to install it. file name is tcltk-version.rpm. i double clicked it but its not working. So i wanted to know how to run it. I hope it may clear ur required quote. Thanks buddy!

'Dis is da dude dat iz gonna come and put shit on u if u dnt writ PROPERLY! We have gathered a nice community of people who at least spell words correctly and most even use punctuation! Dat is that way it's done around here and most of us would appreciate it if you fell in line.

In answer to your last question, open a terminal and cd to where you downloaded the file then use this command to install it:
You can find VMWare and the different versions available (plus prices) at www.vmware.com. RHEL should have a package manager, probably Yum. Use that to install software, it'll make your life a lot easier.

I think you could use yumex, which could help you install most of software and do not need you do something.
