VLC under Fedora Core 4
 
I am having a problem installing VLC under Fedora Core 4, using yum

There are a number of dependancies that cannot be found...

I understand that i can update my yum.conf to direct to some additional repositories, but i am unable to find any repositories to add to the file ...

Has anyone actually installed VLC on fedora core 4 ?

and can anyone advise me of some repositories that I could add to my yum.conf in order to download the dependancies ???

Thanks

I have actually figured out how to do this ... I installed using YUM
i had to remove some entries from my yum.conf , but all is good now ...

Was originally getting this error ....
Cannot open/read repomd.xml file for repository: livna-stable
failure: repodata/repomd.xml from livna-stable: [Errno 256] No more mirrors to try.

I then #`d out all entries in the yum.conf referring to livna and tried again ... all dependancies were downloaded and installed.

I had some problems with VLC with FC2,

Try using an older version of VLC, that worked for me.

I have the same problem under Fedora Core 4 but i think you solution could solve my problem too.
Could you tell me how did you do to refer all entries of your yum.conf to livna.

My actual yum.conf look like this for the moment:
[main]
cachedir=/var/cache/yum
debuglevel=2
logfile=/var/log/yum.log
pkgpolicy=newest
distroverpkg=redhat-release
tolerant=1
exactarch=1
retries=20
obsoletes=1
gpgcheck=1

# PUT YOUR REPOS HERE OR IN separate files named file.repo
# in /etc/yum.repos.d


I think that could be usefull to many users.
Thanks
Gael.
