Buona Serra, Sacarde! And there my Italian ends.
In my opinion, the best way to do what you are attempting is to have yum sort out the dependencies needed for you. Depending upon which version of YDL you are using you will have to modify yum.conf (for YDL 4 and earlier) or yum.repos.d directory (for YDL 5) so that the programs available within Fedora extras are visible and available to yum. I don't believe that gnash is part of the standard yum library reference; in other words when you install YDL yum can't see gnash because it has no information about it. You need to modify either yum.conf or the yum.repos.d directory to tell yum where to look. On my system I'm running YDL 5 and I've made the modifications necessary so that yum knows where to find programs which reside in Fedora extras. If you want the instructions unique to YDL 5 allowing yum to find anything residing within Fedora extras let me know, and I'll share them here. To illustrate the point however, once the modification is done you should be able to do as I did. Here is a printout of my invoking yum to search for gnash, note the wild card * symbol which is very effective when you are looking for something you don't know the complete spelling of or if you don't know exactly how a program was named: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ sudo yum search "gnash*" Password: Loading "installonlyn" plugin Searching Packages: Setting up repositories extras [1/4] extras 100% |=========================| 951 B 00:00 fedora-extras [2/4] fedora-extras 100% |=========================| 1.1 kB 00:00 updates [3/4] updates 100% |=========================| 951 B 00:00 base [4/4] base 100% |=========================| 1.1 kB 00:00 Reading repository metadata in from local files gnash.ppc 0.7.2-2.fc5 fedora-extras Matched from: gnash http://www.gnu.org/software/gnash/ gnash-klash.ppc 0.7.2-2.fc5 fedora-extras Matched from: gnash-klash The gnash flash movie player plugin for Konqueror. http://www.gnu.org/software/gnash/ gnash-plugin.ppc 0.7.2-2.fc5 fedora-extras Matched from: gnash-plugin The gnash flash movie player plugin for firefox or mozilla. http://www.gnu.org/software/gnash/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ Notice that yum searches whatever library it knows about to find this or any other program. When a program is found which matches what you instructed it to find, then it tells you what it is and where it is. The next step is up to you. If it was me, and I wanted everything related to gnash, then I would tell yum: sudo yum install "gnash*" Normally yum works exclusively within superuser; it is working within user mode because of I included my username within the sudoer file, allowing me to execute sudo which allows superuser access for a short period of time (usually enough to execute normally restricted superuser commands) and then returns me automatically to normal user mode without superuser access. Remember that although yum can install and do many things for you saving you from going insane searching for dependencies (or worse having to build, compile and separately link and install each one), you must inform yum first regarding where to look.
