freshrpms has no packages for CentOS. And never had.
Thats a fedora core 6 rpm which maybe the reason why its not working
properly.

Hmmm. Okay. Too bad. Thanks for the explanation. However, I did
successfully install gnumeric using yum from an RPM I got from
freshrpms... a fluke, I guess.
But so mplayer isn't available from CentOS?
I was just looking at a way to prioritize repos so that freshrpms is at
the bottom, i.e., so that it's sought only as a last resort:
http://wiki.centos.org/PackageManagement/Yum/Priorities. But the page
doesn't quite get me all the way. How do I add an entry for freshrpms
to /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo so I can specify a low priority for it?

Ken,
You should have a freshrpms.repo file, or something similar, within the
/etc/yum.repos.d/ directory. Yum looks for all *.repo files and pulls
from the repos listed within those files. Within each individual repo
file is where you would designate the priority for it. You wont need to
alter /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo to alter the priority for
freshrpms. Might I suggest the rpmforge repo instead? Check out the
following.

Others might disagree, but I've had good luck with rpmforge.
