    RPMforge - cant find SDL

    I am trying to install ffmpeg on an amazon linux ami (centOS red hat) and using yum with rpmforge repo added. I cant install ffmpeg because of a dependency error:

    Error: Package: ffmpeg-0.6.1-1.el5.rf.x86_64 (rpmforge)
    Requires: libSDL-1.2.so.0()(64bit)

    So I search in the repo for SDL:

    yum list sdl* ==>

    Code:
    Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, security
    Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
     * rpmforge: ftp-stud.fht-esslingen.de

    SDL and/or SDL-devel do not seem to be in the repository, any tips for resolving this dependency error would be much appreciated. I am a noob to linux, so try to dumb it down for me

    The SDL root package should be in the standard CentOS repository. Anyway, here is a link to the RPM, which you can get here: http://mirror.anl.gov/pub/centos/5.5...el5.x86_64.rpm
    If you need the devel package, you can get it from the location specified: Index of /pub/centos/5.5/os/x86_64

    Ah ok, thanks. Is there a way I can include the standard centOS repository in a .repo file as I did with rpmforge so I can use yum update and yum install? Like so:

    /etc/yum.repos.d/rpmforge.repo:

    Code:
    ### Name: RPMforge RPM Repository for RHEL 5 - dag
    ### URL: ...
    [rpmforge]
    name = RHEL $releasever - RPMforge.net - dag
    baseurl = ...
    mirrorlist = ...
    #mirrorlist = ...
    enabled = 1
    protect = 0
    gpgkey = ...
    gpgcheck = 1
