vlc 0.9.4 from rpmfusion wants directfb-1.0

[rweed]

rpmfusion replacing livna (and others)? I'm trying to install vlc from there and it fails wanting libdirect-1.0.so and libdirectfb-1.0.so, but the rawhide repo only has directfb-1.2...how do I resolve this?

tia, Rick

look at http://rpmfind.net/ for those rpms

is it expected that such will still be neccesary once F10 goes final?

I am asking this because once I screwed up my FC2 server (yes ... server $%#$^) so bad by downloading stuff from rpmfind since of course FC2 was not supported anymore.

I would prefer to stay away from rpm search engines and stick to the repos + rpm-fusion. But on the other hand one DOES need vlc (0.9.5).

Linux is Linux an you can always find a rpm via rpmfind whether its needed by the time Fedora10 goes final i dont know but i think it will for some things, rpmfusion is still new so its gonna have its teething problems in some areas

Now there is no problem with directfb:

Okay, yum install vlc gets farther now (without doing anything else).

However, I keep getting a message about a missing dependecy libcucul.so.0 needed by package vlc.

That file already exists in /usr/lib (package libcaca-0.99-0.5-beta16.fc10.i386 is already installed).

Any ideas?

Thanks, Rick

seems like that one is newer than the one i found ......it could be a Bug in RPMFusion if your using that repo

[rweed]

I installed all other required dependencies and then just grabbed the vlc rpm and installed it with --nodeps...works fine so far.

i didnt think of that, but yeah that RPM is more updated than the one i could find

[loupy]

Where/how did you grab the VLC packages?

I am new to fedora and not familiar with yum or how the repos work. I tried using the downloadonly plugin for yum but had no luck.

Hey People,

Can you please summarize..
What can be done to get vlc? (preferable step-by-step)

thanks

[TheIcebreaker]

just get the rpmfusion repo rpm from download1.rpmfusion.org
install it. And do a yum install vlc.

U are done and now u have vlc 0.9.5 installed.
