You need to look at all the non-default repositories you have turned on. EPEL does not necessarily play well with RPMforge, which do not necessarily play well with atrpms, etc., etc., etc. This is why the upstram vendor does not even *provide* hooks to those repositories, but Scientific Linux elects to provide the hooks if you want them. Running "yum list" will give you some hints of which components are from which repository. and "yum repolist" will give you some sense of which repositories you have active. start from that information, and be aware that vlc has a *giant caboose load* of dependencies, and you shouldn't try to run it on a development machine that has critical EPEL build components on. > > Bob > > -- > http://www.qrz.com/db/W2BOD > > box7 Scientific Linux 6.3
