Which many might not know or wish that you used rpms/yum to install the software. Does livna, atrpms, freshrpms provide those kinds of packages? I do not know for sure. This is something that bites back, I have tried multiple times to install vlc media player from source, and I downloaded all the dependencies and installed them and it still fails with the reason that I do not have a ffmpeg-devel and I did have it. I installed the livna one, but for some updates I would get lots of conflicts so I decided to trash it. I got content with one media player only, mplayer. I tried xine also by compiling, but the stripped Fedora version interferes with the one that can play dvds, so if I tried to remove it, It would remove KDE, and I decided not to pursue that either. I gave up and did not even ask why KDE depended on xine-lib-1.??, the free one(without the ability to play dvd's out of the box). When moving to gcc 4.3, the libid3tag-,libmad stuff http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=12349 2 out of the 3 worked, but one did not, and thus I cannot get rid of the k3b does not have mp3 support, you need to install .... :( I have been happy to run as it is and live with the nag screen :) Post your errors. Then and only then someone may respond if they know what you can try :) Regards, Antonio -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
