Just so you don't think no-one saw your post, I read it and have never used libspeex. How did you use it and for what kind of file? You might try: yum -y --enablerepo livna install mplayer* and see if it comes through. You could get lucky. I'll be go to hell, I just peeked in /usr/lib and found it! Right there. I did the rpm thing and it says: xmms-speex-0.9.1-7.fc5 That is what provided the lib. Now you know! Damn, you did get lucky!
