>This is either a problem in the RPMFORGE repo ... OR ... a problem with your yum-priorities settings blocking an rpm from RPMFORGE that you need. Yeah, looks like rpmforge has an issue atm: # yum --disableplugin=priorities whatprovides */libFLAC.so.8 Loading "fastestmirror" plugin Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile * rpmforge: apt.sw.be * base: centos.arcticnetwork.ca * updates: centos.arcticnetwork.ca * addons: centos.arcticnetwork.ca * extras: centos.arcticnetwork.ca No Matches found But flac-devel provides libFLAC.so, so maybe you need a newer one than Base provides? Looks like Axel Thim resolved this a while ago for ATRPMS if your need is immediate: http://lists.atrpms.net/pipermail/atrpms-users/2007-June/007433.html jlc
