Sounds strange huh? I know I've been pesky with 3 threads on the run, but please bear with me. I've just installed another repo based on info through the list - livna. Since then I've had some weird errors. The updater offers some 14 updates- which I wasn't able to update based on a missing file required: libx264.so.56. So I ran a provides and whatprovides through the cmd yum and it says x264.i386 is to blame. I check if its installed through the software tool and yes it is. So I uninstall and try updating again: it works! But x264 is no longer installed. So I install x264.i386 - only this time its a livna rpm. It installs, but I check mplayer and only 1 option is installed, so no mencoder which is what I need. If I try to install it it says its still missing the shared object library. I check again through yum and it says its installed- except its the freshrpms rpm version. Either way I can't get mencoder installed again. Any ideas? _________________________________________________________________ New music from the Rogue Traders - listen now! http://ninemsn.com.au/share/redir/adTrack.asp?mode=click&clientID=832&referral=hotmailtaglineOct07&URL=http://music.ninemsn.com.au/roguetraders
