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? In the list archives, Jan 29th, subject "libx264.so.56, where art thou?" explains in what way livna and freshrpms conflict with regard to the x264 package.
