Hii Amar,
Installing VLC from source is a pain as it has lot of dependencies. The best
way would be to use the package manager YUM
$ sudo yum install vlc
If you really want to install from source do the following steps:
a)Extract the tar file:
$tar zxvf vlc.tar.gx
b)cd vlc
c)./configure
During this step you will get to know the dependencies. Install all the
deps and run the ./configure script again
You, will ve to repeat this process until all the dependencies are
resolved.
d)make
e) sudo make install
f)make clean
Cheers
