[SOLVED] Help need for installing vlc

[santhoshv]

any one plz tell or redirect
to a compleate sucess install of vlc player in fedora offline.
i cannot use yum as there is a lack of internet for now.
I googled and failed.

Go to the rpmfusion web site and download the vlc rpm for your version of fedora and (assuming you're doing this on another computer) copy it over to your fedora machine using a usb memory stick/drive of some kind. You can install it from the command line with 'rpm -i <packagename.rpm>'.

You'll probably encounter dependency problems, so you'll make several trips back to the internet to get packages to satisfy them, but eventually it'll all work. For dependent packages, you'll need to specify them on the same rpm install command line as the main package, or install them before.

It's a bit of a long-winded run around to do this, and you'd probably find it easier to hook it up to the internet and use yum. I think vlc has few dependencies, though, so you may be in luck.

I Googled 'vlc dependencies' and got these results for errors. I'm not sure if this is a complete list of dependencies for vlc, but maybe it'll save you a few trips.

Missing Dependency: liba52.so.0 is needed by package videolan-client
Missing Dependency: libvcdinfo.so.0 is needed by package videolan-client
Missing Dependency: libmp3lame.so.0 is needed by package videolan-client
Missing Dependency: libfaac.so.0 is needed by package videolan-client
Missing Dependency: libmpeg2.so.0 is needed by package videolan-client
Missing Dependency: libmad.so.0 is needed by package videolan-client
Missing Dependency: libfaad.so.0 is needed by package videolan-client
Missing Dependency: libopendaap.so.0 is needed by package videolan-client
Missing Dependency: libdvbpsi.so.4 is needed by package videolan-client
Missing Dependency: libdvdnav.so.4 is needed by package videolan-client
Missing Dependency: libdvdread.so.3 is needed by package videolan-client

Ahh, Missing Dependency's, i hate that....


what you need to do is get those files first, as they are required to install VLC. what you will need to do is download those RPM files and then install them, this is a list of the files to search for.

liba52
libvcdinfo
libmp3lame
libfaac
libmpeg2
libmad
libfaad
libopendaap
libdvbpsi
libdvdnav
libdvdread

Hopefully these dont have dependencies of their own.

Hope this helps

I installed online through yum through the instructions in their site and its few commands.
I think the offline install is tough.

[jayd512]

Yeah, the dependencies do make for a tough time if you're offline. Glad you got it going though

hi,
if u are in offline, then install all dependences thru DVD, with add/remove program option,

if still not solved try install lower version of vlc.
