Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you!

Its telling you that you need a library called libminizip.so.1 as a dependency for two other packages.

[QUOTE]Error: Package: vlc-2.0.10-1.el6.x86_64 (rpmfusion-free-updates)
Requires: libminizip.so.1()(64bit)
Error: Package: vlc-core-2.0.10-1.el6.x86_64 (rpmfusion-free-updates)
Requires: libminizip.so.1()(64bit)[/QUOTE.

You can check to see if that is available in repositories you have configure by running something like:
yum provides "*/libminizip*" (Note the quotes are necessary and the / is suggested for this kind of searching.

When I did that on my RHEL6 box it gave various hits including:

minizip-1.2.3-25.el6.x86_64 : Minizip manipulates files from a .zip archive
Repo : rhel-x86_64-server-optional-6
Matched from:
Filename : /usr/lib64/libminizip.so.1.0.0
Filename : /usr/lib64/libminizip.so.1

Which means you could just run "yum install minizip" (assuming you've seturp rhel-x86_64-server-optional-6 as a repository to be searched at RedHat for this system).

on redhat be VERY VERY VERY CAREFUL !!!!
installing mulit media

VERY CAREFUL!!!!!!!!

the third party repos tend to be incompatible with the base ( RHN) and the updates ( rhn-updates)

i have FUBAR'ed more installs trying to use VLC, Mplayer , Gstreammer, ffmpeg , and so on

so
USE EXTREME CAUTION!!!!!

first install and CONFIGURE!!! yum-priorities plugin
so that rhn and updates ARE PREFERRED !!!!!!!
-- the Cent wiki
http://wiki.centos.org/PackageManagement/Yum/Priorities

this plugin will HELP keep you from KILLING your install
it is possible to royally mess it up so bad you might not be able to boot it

for rhel6 the rpmfusion repo is where vlc 2 is

BUT!!!! very important
the other multy media is in RPMforge

http://wiki.centos.org/TipsAndTricks/MultimediaOnCentOS
http://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalRes...c0ae92d1398e01

mixing third party repos can be dangerous

from the end of the output

Quote:

xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-340.29-1.el6.x86_64

did you add the nvidia repo ?
i do NOT see it listed in the top of the output
-- it should have been

can you please post the output of

Code:

su -
yum repolist all

MensaWater · 05-22-2015, 12:51 PM

Good point John. On my RHEL systems I never add non-RHEL repositories but rather download the packages I need from other sites as required because I don't ever want to accidentally get unexpected packages (or versions that superseded the RHEL versions). On occasion that requires me to also download other packages for libraries that aren't in RHEL so a minor dependency hell but I'd rather risk that than crapping out the system by having something go get the latest upstream glibc.
