yum install vlc
The vlc failed with the messages that appear below. Based on these
messages and a search on the web, I also did
yum install qt4
yum install qt5
yum install libxkbcommon
All of the above yum install commands completed without failures.
Nonetheless, the yum icon on the desktop does not start yum, and from a
terminal using bash, one gets:
$ /usr/bin/vlc
VLC media player 3.0.6 Vetinari (revision 3.0.6-0-g5803e85f73)
[000000000163b1c0] main libvlc: Running vlc with the default interface.
Use 'cvlc' to use vlc without interface.

I am using MATE , but will attempt this under KDE or GNOME if there is a
reason to do that for VLC.
Any suggestions on what to do (e.g., are there one or more configuration
files for running, not building, vlc or whatever that need to be changed?

I would appreciate replies to [email protected]
I see no problem with the version from the rpmfusion-free-updates repo
$ rpm -qa | grep vlc
vlc-3.0.6-17.el7.x86_64
vlc-core-3.0.6-17.el7.x86_64
