If you have connection then use following command

yum install vlc

I'me on a corporate network with a firewall.......I'me told yum won't work?, or need to reconfigure firewall, which i don't have access to.

try sudo apt-get install vlc. if you have its installation file.

Apt-get is a Debian/Ubuntu command. RHEL does not use it.

VLC requires a ton of packages. If your firewall stops you from using yum, it will be a pain to find everything and install it.

I don't use RHEL/Fedora, so I'm not sure if they have a convenient way of divining the dependencies. You can look at the spec file to see how it's built.

Here is a list of the dependencies for Arch. It's a much newer version that what is available for RHEL4, but it should at least give you an idea of what you'll need, give your take a few. The package names probably differ in RHEL as well.
