Hoi Ethan go to http://rpmfind.net and do a search for the missing packages and install them. note once you know that you have all the packages you may have to add --nodeps to the rpm command ie rpm -ivh --nodeps [package] but only do this once you know that you have all the packages and when rpm won't let you install any of them on account of dependencies ie each package requires one of the others, and if this is the case choose the lib rpm Regards Darrin ethan wrote: When I tried to install vlc rpm package, I get failed dependencies: [root@localhost ethan]# rpm -ivh vlc*.rpm error: failed dependencies: libdvdcss.so.1 is needed by vlc-0.2.91-1 libSDL-1.1.so.0 is needed by vlc-0.2.91-1 [root@localhost ethan]# any idea how to get rid of these dependencies and install a package for this ? thank you. civileme wrote: On Sunday 25 November 2001 05:28 pm, DJW wrote: Anyone know of a good DVD (Linux Native) player for Linux?

Re: [newbie] DVD player?
As I understood it, the California guy was hosting DeCSS, having got it from the Norway. The DVD cops got him, not because he had the decryption keys, but because he or the person he got it from violated licensing agreements in the cracking process. The CA guy, of course, was never given the license agreement, and so didn't agree to it. He just took the crack as-is and posted it. And as it turns out, the guy he got it from in Norway may not have violated the law to crack the encryption either because he did it under some other national law that overrides agreements to not reverse-engineer when working to achieve interoperability (and he was trying to watch DVDs on his Linux box). And nobody can say for sure if the the Norwegian guy every actually agreed to the no reverse-engineering license argeement before cracking the key. He may have just nabbed it off the a DVD (which every CSS DVD contains), or whatever. Bottom line: the California guy didn't make (or violate) any agreement to get the decryption key, and there wasn't enough proof to prove that he got from anybody else who did. So I _think_ that this means he can do with it as he pleases, and so can anybody else who gets it from him. But as you say, Frans, it's not the Supreme Court, and you can be sure this is not over.
