I had this after an update, and resolved it so long ago that I don't recall the solution, other than it was installing another RPM that hadn't been pulled in as a dependency (perhaps faac-1.25-2.lvn6 or faad2-2.0-19.20050131.lvn6). # rpm -qa \*faa\* faad2-2.0-19.20050131.lvn6 faac-1.25-2.lvn6 I did find an answer on the web somewhere, here's one comment about it: "To those getting "undefined symbol: faacDecOpen": do you have libfaad2-0 installed? If not, try to install it. Some googling suggests that this could be the problem... HTH."
