Use the source Luke, er, Mark. Just grab the tarball, unpack it, and build it. Something like: # as non-root user mkdir /tmp/download cd /tmp/download wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/flac/flac-1.1.4.tar.gz tar zxvf flac-1.1.4.tar.gz cd flac-1.1.4 ./configure --prefix=/usr && make && make check # switch to root user cd /tmp/download/flac-1.1.4 make install You will need a gnu build environment installed (gcc, gcc-c++, make, etc.) plus, optionally, the vorbis devel. libs for ogg support, and xmms for xmms support (I didn't bother with this). I'm in the same position on FC6 so I just installed from source. BTW, the tests take *ages* to complete (the "make check" bit).
