[SOLVED] Cannot install VLC, missing libx264.so.83.
It's been days and I still haven't found out how to install VLC. It says it requires libx264.so.83. I have libx264, and some other package listed as what's available in the following output when I issue "yum install vlc"
can anyone shed some light on this? I need/want VLC for some videos I have that wont play with MPlayer.Code:[root@yoshii <myusername>]# yum install vlc-core Loaded plugins: presto, refresh-packagekit Setting up Install Process Resolving Dependencies --> Running transaction check ---> Package vlc-core.i686 0:1.0.6-1.fc13 set to be updated --> Processing Dependency: libx264.so.83 for package: vlc-core-1.0.6-1.fc13.i686 --> Finished Dependency Resolution Error: Package: vlc-core-1.0.6-1.fc13.i686 (rpmfusion-free) Requires: libx264.so.83 Available: x264-libs-0.0.0-0.27.20100130git3659b81.fc13.i686 (rpmfusion-free) You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest
- 06-19-2010 #2If the above doesn't work try these:Code:
$> su - #> rpm -ivh http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-stable.noarch.rpm #> yum install vlc
libx264.so.83Code:yum install x264-libs-0.0.0-0.27.20100130git3659b81.fc13.i686.rpm
RPM resource libx264.so.83

None worked, and the yum install stuff doesn't find those packages
Nevermind. I read somewhere that this is a problem on Fedora's repos. I'll just wait for them to fix this. In the meantime, I've installed multiple players for different fiiles.
Thanks
By the way, the rpm ones, I've tried that. Says:
Code:could not do simulate: Can't install /home/<username>/Downloads/x264-libs-0.0.0-0.27.20100130git3659b81.fc13.i686 (4).rpm as no transaction

What distribution+version of Linux are you running? If you are running current versions of RHEL/CentOS then .68 is the latest. For newer versions, you will have to download and build/install them from source. I had to do that for some newer applications such as the latest ffmpeg and chrome browser. I installed them in /usr/local instead of /usr, so I have to set my LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment to run them. FWIW, the latest versions of x264 is .98.
Sometimes, real fast is almost as good as real time.

Im running Fedora 13, btw

In the software manager, it refuses to do anything when I try to install x264 devel files and stuff, and everything related to VLC. It just says "resolving dependencies", and then returns to idle.
Im not really good at programming and more advanced linux stuff, so I'm posting what I can. Here's what I have been doing.
By the way, how can I "force refresh" my repo list? Like as if it was just the first time I used it. Maybe this will help.Code:checking for LUA... no configure: WARNING: lua5.1 not found, trying lua >= 5.1 instead checking for LUA... no checking lua.h usability... no checking lua.h presence... no checking for lua.h... no checking lauxlib.h usability... no checking lauxlib.h presence... no checking for lauxlib.h... no checking lualib.h usability... no checking lualib.h presence... no checking for lualib.h... no checking for luaL_newstate in -llua5.1 ... no checking for luaL_newstate in -llua51 ... no checking for luaL_newstate in -llua ... no configure: WARNING: lua >= 5.1 not found! checking for LIBPROXY... no checking for NOTIFY... no checking for TAGLIB... no configure: WARNING: TagLib library not found checking liveMedia_version.hh usability... no checking liveMedia_version.hh presence... no checking for liveMedia_version.hh... no checking liveMedia.hh usability... no checking liveMedia.hh presence... no checking for liveMedia.hh... no configure: WARNING: The development files for liveMedia (live555) can't be found checking dvdread/dvd_reader.h usability... no checking dvdread/dvd_reader.h presence... no checking for dvdread/dvd_reader.h... no checking libdvdread/dvd_reader.h usability... no checking libdvdread/dvd_reader.h presence... no checking for libdvdread/dvd_reader.h... no checking for dvdnav-config... no checking libsmbclient.h usability... no checking libsmbclient.h presence... no checking for libsmbclient.h... no checking for struct _SMBCCTX.close_fn... no checking for dvbpsi/dr.h... no configure: WARNING: cannot find libdvbpsi headers checking for dvbpsi_GenSDTSections in -ldvbpsi... no checking linux/videodev2.h usability... yes checking linux/videodev2.h presence... yes checking for linux/videodev2.h... yes checking for LIBV4L2... no configure: WARNING: LibV4L2 support disabled because libv4l2 development headers were not found checking for LIBCDIO... no configure: WARNING: CD Reading and information library not found checking for VCDINFO... no configure: WARNING: VCD information library not found checking for cdrom_msf0 in linux/cdrom.h... yes checking for scsireq in sys/scsiio.h... no checking for ioc_toc_header in sys/cdio.h... no checking for LIBCDDB... no configure: WARNING: new enough libcddb not found.

EDIT:
Nevermind. Got it to work. I reinstalled everything about FFMPEG (downloaded the source), then downloaded this file . I don't know why, but I tried that before, and it just worked now.
Anyway, thanks for the info and stuff
