missing dependency for FFMPEG

Question

I'm trying to install FFMPEG on a virtual dedicated server with Red Hat Fedora Core 7 but get the following error:

Error: Missing Dependency: libvorbisenc.so.0 is needed by package ffmpeg

I've tried installing libvorbisenc.so.0, but it says "no package available".

When I try to install the latest version, libvorbisenc.so.2, it says it's already installed.

This is the final issue after several, the first being that I was unable to install ffmpeg using:

yum install ffmpeg

so I had to create the following file, /etc/yum.repos.d/dag.repo:

[dag]
name=Dag RPM Repository for Red Hat Enterprise Linux
baseurl=http://apt.sw.be/redhat/el$releasever/en/$basearch/dag
gpcheck=1
enabled=1

but that couldn't find the repomd.xml file, so I had to change it to:

baseurl=http://apt.sw.be/redhat/7.3/en/i386/dag

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Answer 1

You need to add rpmfusion to your repository. Rpmfusion can be added with the following command:

su -c 'rpm -Uvh http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-stable.noarch.rpm http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-stable.noarch.rpm'

Answer 2

RPMFusion doesn't support Fedora 7 anymore, but I was able to find a mirror w/the correct version after a ton of searching.

I also had a really old version of livna already installed, so I had to upgrade rather than install.

For anyone interested, here's the command:

su -c 'rpm -Uvh ftp://ftp.pbone.net/mirror/rpm.livna.org/fedora/7/i386/livna-release-7-2.noarch.rpm'

Also, this version of rpmfusion uses a different name for ffmpeg so I had to change my yum command to:

yum install ffmpeg*

Thanks again for your help!!
