	Much obliged.

	The problem was the crap storm inherent in the
	vlc-binary tar ( 30 rpms ) I downloaded.

	All I really needed was ( in this order ):

		faac-1.23.5-1.fr.i386.rpm
		faad2-2.0-1.fr.i386.rpm
		imlib2-1.1.0-1.fr.i386.rpm
		ffmpeg-0.4.8-2.fr.i386.rpm

	The preceding were extracted from the crap storm.

		videolan-client-0.5.3-2.dag.rh90.i386.rpm

	Got that from Dag Wieers as suggested.

	And <French-Ptui>Voila</French-Ptui>.
