You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest
Hi,
It's EPEL + RPMforge != love again :(
This is one of my biggest annoyances with EL.
Anyway, try to exclude libmodplug in epel[1], and see if GoogleEarth
will get installed like that. If you uninstall libmodplug from RF it
will also take down VLC and mplayer… We need a multimedia repo
compatible with EPEL! RPMfusion, where art thou? :(
[1] - should be: exclude=libmodplug in /etc/yum.repos.d/epel.repo,
but better double check syntax.
The above should work, but if you need to remove
libmodplug-0.8.7-1.el6.rf.x86_64 (@rpmforge) first without taking the
deps with it, use :
rpm -e --nodeps libmodplug
you won't get any confirmation that it is gone, but it will be.
Then use as above: [1] - should be: exclude=libmodplug in
/etc/yum.repos.d/epel.repo
Then install Google Earth with the epel version of libmodplug
Thank you guys. I will give it a try tomorrow.

Hi Todd, I was just looking at this again and noticed the
exclude=libmodplug should go in the rpmforge.repo file since that's the
libplugmod version you don't want, and don't want it ever updated from
rpmforge in the future.
The other problem I notice is that yum was looking for libmodplug.x86_64
1:0.8.8.1-2.el6 which it didn't find in epel and I'm not finding it in
the epel or epel testing repos either (or any of the others that I have
installed, which is all of them that I know of). So I found this link to
sourceforge if you're able to build it yourself (not recommended if
you've never done it).. Sourceforge hosts that project and has all the
versions, but this link points to the closest one that the Google Earth
install was looking for.
http://sourceforge.net/projects/modplug-xmms/files/libmodplug/0.8.8.2/
OR there is this version which is an .rpm but was built for Centos6 but
it should work, (I already have a few of those in my system and no
problems so far, although mixing up repositories isn't a great idea, but
when you're stuck for a dep what can you do?)
http://pkgs.org/download/centos-6-rhel-6/epel-x86_64/libmodplug-0.8.8.1-2.el6.x86_64.rpm.html
(After-Note: I uninstalled my libmodplug and libmodplug-devel, and put
in the Centos el6 ones so I could try GE - no issues - more on that in
the addendum)
Anyway if you decide on the Centos one, open the link above and then
click the tiny blue-underlined link that says: "binary" and then you'll
get the download option box pop up. Save it in downloads or wherever you
save such things to, then open a terminal in the folder the file is in
and do a: sudo yum install --nogpg libmodplug-0.8.8.1-2.el6.x86_64.rpm.
So what I did was: 1.) get rid of the old libmodplug with: sudo rpm -e
--nodeps libmodplug (and: sudo rpm -e --nodeps libmodplug-devel if
installed) 2.) then install the centos file (sudo yum install --nogpg
libmodplug-0.8.8.1-2.el6.x86_64.rpm) (take a moment for prayer or
contemplation of life) then 3.) do your google earth install and see how
that goes.
And then try vlc and mplayer to make sure they still work ok as well.
ADDENDUM: I decided to try this to see what Google Earth is like and the
program wouldn't start after install, so I tried starting it up from the
command line and got this error: ./googleearth-bin: /lib/ld-lsb.so.3:
bad ELF interpreter: No such file or directory
After doing some research I found that 64-bit Google Earth isn't a true
64-bit app and needs the _i686_ versions (which it didn't pull in) of:
lsb-redhat, fontconfig, libX11, libXrender, libXext, libGL (I installed
Mesa-libGL, but I have Intel graphics, so I'm not sure if it would be
the same with other brands of graphics adapters) and libSM, (as well as
the other deps pulled in from each of those of course)
Reminds me of trying to install 64-bit Skype - lots of 32-bit deps
Anyhow it seems to work well now; I just flew from space down to the
front of my house with Google Earth....lol. Mplayer is playing a music
vid, and vlc is recording from NASA-TV, so it looks good from here.
Have fun and hopefully you get your going as well,
alex
