We need to support a variety of applications on our 3D scientific visualisation client workstations, running SL6x x86-64 using the proprietary Nvidia 3D Xwindows drivers (and Nvidia CUDA5 along with OpenCL).

When I installed rpmfusion for vlc production current (2.0.6) for IA-32 on my laptop, there were no issues. When I attempt to install the same thing here, I find:

Test Transaction Errors: file /usr/lib64/libBasicUsageEnvironment.so.0 from install of live555-0-0.37.2012.04.27.el6.x86_64 conflicts with file from package live-2012.02.04-1.el6.x86_64 file /usr/lib64/libUsageEnvironment.so.0 from install of live555-0-0.37.2012.04.27.el6.x86_64 conflicts with file from package live-2012.02.04-1.el6.x86_64 file /usr/lib64/libgroupsock.so.0 from install of live555-0-0.37.2012.04.27.el6.x86_64 conflicts with file from package live-2012.02.04-1.el6.x86_64 file /usr/lib64/libliveMedia.so.0 from install of live555-0-0.37.2012.04.27.el6.x86_64 conflicts with file from package live-2012.02.04-1.el6.x86_64

I have found:

http://www.live555.com/liveMedia/

but nothing for live-2012 (nor my guess of live2012) that seems relevant to this issue.

I am not asking for specifics on debugging -- however, I do not recognize either live555 nor live-2012 except from the above search yields -- indicating that live555 provides a "set of C++ libraries for multimedia streaming, using open standard protocols (RTP/RTCP, RTSP, SIP)" -- that makes sense for an application such as vlc. Does anyone know anything about these "packages"? Will one suffice for the other and thus a manual install with a force nodeps override will in fact work?

Technical question: for a .so file or an executable, ldd will inform as to the required dependencies. What is the functional equivalent for a rpm file to ldd, preferably an equivalent that will list both the dependencies in terms of actual files (e.g., foobar.so.3.7.19-mnj) and (hopefully) the RPMs from a particular repository (e.g., SL, rpmfusion, etc., depending upon the distribution that supplied the RPM) that supply such files?

Otherwise, I am back to the issue of finding the "non-free" and other CODECs needed for vlc current production release built from source (not SRPM, but source).

Any information would be appreciated.
