Why not use a repository like rpmforge which provides vlc in a nice
shiny prebuilt rpm?
Also, are you really still on 5.2? If so, you should very much

security bugs including kernel and udev exploits which can lead to
compromises.

Yum can be used to figure this out with the 'provides' option, telling
you what provides that dir and the files within it.
