I want to install VLC in my Linux box.

            libx264.so.120 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigestI don't know why I am getting this error. In my knowledge, if there are any dependencies, then package manager should find and install them too. Can anybody tell me what's wrong with yum?
Oracle Linux 6.5: Unable to install VLC 2.0.10 from rpmfusion-free-updates
vlc;oracle linux
The most immediate dependency not being found looks to be the 0.6.5 version of ffmpeg-libs which is usually something you would get from rpmfusion (which you appear to be using as well). rpmfusion, though, only goes up to v0.5 on RHEL/OEL 5, and jumped to v0.10 un RHEL/OEL6. So it's not able to locate that specific package version.I'm seeing a lot of different repos popping up in that yum install command so it's possible that yum is pulling the a version of whatever specific package depends on ffmpeg-libs but that package is built against a version of ffmpeg-libs with a lower version number than any copy of that package in your repos has. So it's basically saying I'm trying to install Package1 which needs version 0.6 of ffmpeg-libs, but out of all your repos the only thing I can find is version 0.10So you have two ways of solving these types of yum issues:Eliminate as many additional repos as you can. VLC is available in the RPM fusion repository which has worked well for me in the past. I don't believe they depend on any other repository existing besides the base repository for the core OS packages. I would try disabling all repos except whatever Oracle calls their base repo, EPEL, and rpmfusion itself and see if that causes the version numbers to sync up.Try to identify the repo causing that specific version of ffmpeg-libs to be required and check to see if the repo maintainers expect you to also have any other yum repos configured.Of the two, the first one seems the easiest. You can do a yum repolist to see what repos you have installed and you can either disable them by editing their /etc/yum.repos.d configuration file, or added enough --disablerepo= options to your yum install command.That said, you're going to have a hard time living with RHEL as a mutlimedia platform. I would recommend using Fedora or something like that and just running RHEL in a virtual machine or something. Fedora has a package called virt-manager that would allow you to do this. Do what you want, but it might be easier to use a system that was designed for desktop users as a part-time hypervisor than making a server OS behave like a desktop OS.
