Hello,

How can I install Vlc on CentOs 6 ? Yum does not find it.

try repoforge.

Sorry, could you be more explicit ? I suppose it is a repository ? How can I set it up ? Thanks F. Colonna

Thank you for your quick answer. I ran

rpm -Uvh http://pkgs.repoforge.org/rpmforge-release/rpmforge-release-0.5.2-2.el6.rf.i...

(because I have a 32 bits processor) /etc/yum.repos.d gives

# yum install vlc (the full output is in the attached file) the end is :

I think I did something wrong when installing CentOs 6, but what ?

Thanks for your help. Francois

rm -f/var/lib/rpm/__db* rpm –rebuilddb yum clean all

then

yum install vlc

worked fine. What was the problem ?

no idea, i've never had to delete anything from /var/lib/rpm.

ATRPMS has the rpms you need. browse to atrpms.net and follow the instructions there for setting up the repository.

http://atrpms.net/documentation/install/

which sets up the repository.

I'm using vlc on my centos6 netbook, installed from atrpms. I don't recall any particular hassles (once I fixed some stupidities of my own.)
