Dependecnies for transcode and Gtk-Perl

[Benzorz]

Having serious dependency nightmares here.

For transcode I need:
a52dec is needed by transcode-0.6.12-5.1.fc2.fr
liba52.so.0 is needed by transcode-0.6.12-5.1.fc2.fr
liblzo.so.1 is needed by transcode-0.6.12-5.1.fc2.fr
libquicktime is needed by transcode-0.6.12-5.1.fc2.fr
libquicktime.so.0 is needed by transcode-0.6.12-5.1.fc2.fr
lzo >= 1.08 is needed by transcode-0.6.12-5.1.fc2.fr

When I download the libquicktime rpm it says it needs:
libavc1394.so.0 is needed by libquicktime-0.9.3-1.1.fc2.fr
librom1394.so.0 is needed by libquicktime-0.9.3-1.1.fc2.fr

For Gtk-Perl, I need:
libart_lgpl.so.2 is needed by Gtk-Perl-0.7008-36.1
libglade.so.0 is needed by Gtk-Perl-0.7008-36.1
libgnome.so.32 is needed by Gtk-Perl-0.7008-36.1
libgnomesupport.so.0 is needed by Gtk-Perl-0.7008-36.1
libgnomeui.so.32 is needed by Gtk-Perl-0.7008-36.1
libgtkxmhtml.so.1 is needed by Gtk-Perl-0.7008-36.1
libpng.so.2 is needed by Gtk-Perl-0.7008-36.1
libzvt.so.2 is needed by Gtk-Perl-0.7008-36.1

What's a .so file anyways? I'm confused. Where do I get these files?

On a side note, my gcc doesn't seem to be working. When I make just a simple application it says it can't find iostream.h or any other standard file for that matter. What rpms do I need to run so gcc will compile standard C and C++ apps.

Thanks.

It looks you didn't install gnome (the libgnome dependencies) or the devel packages. The devel packages should be on your distro disks, they contain the headers and such.
I'm not too knowledgeable about .so files, but they're somewhat like the .dll files in windows- they're libraries. You should install them from RPMs and other packages. The easiest way to install all those packages in my opinion would be to use a package manager that automatically resolves such dependencies.
If you're using Fedora Core, I recomend using yum + freshrpm's release RPM. Once you have yum and the release RPM from freshrpm's site installed, you can just type "yum install transcode.i386" in the console and it should automatically download and install all of it's dependencies as well. For Debian-based distros, there's a thing called apt-get, but I don't know much about it.

[Benzorz]

Yum was already installed on my system apparently, that's a very cool system. Although, it didn't seem to recognize the transcode RPM I downloaded off of freshrpms. I did install the libgnome-devel package, but I still don't seem to be able to install it. I'm actually trying to install dvd::rip, but am getting hung up on all these dependencies it requires. Any other suggestions?

[Stormblazer]

I tried installing it on my machine, and it worked fine with yum. I didn't download any RPMs off Freshrpm's site directly except for the Freshrpms release file for Fedora Core. I installed the release file normally, and then typed in "yum install perl-Video-DVDRip.i386" as root. Here's a log of the output yum generated.

Is this ok [y/N]: y

Even if this doesn't work for you, you can always download the needed RPMs off freshrpms site, but make sure you're using the ones for your version of Fedora Core.
I've been assuming you're using Fedora Core, but if you're using a different distro, please post which one it is as that would be why my suggestion didn't work.

[Benzorz]

I downloaded that rpm and installed it, but it still doesn't seem to work, I'm using Fedora Core 2 and my yum is version 2.0.7. Here's what it says when I type: yum install perl-Video-DVDRip.i386

Maybe it's my yum.conf file or something? Is your's different from mine?

As I suspected, it was my yum.conf. All I needed to do was add the freshrpms source to it and now everything works. Thanks for the help everyone!
