Hello everyone, I'm Ess(Not My real Name, Yes I'm male.). I am a complete Linux Noob, and I have some problems with installing software that I hope that you fine people will help me with a little. The first problem is with VLC for Linux. I am using SUSE Linux. OS Information

OS:Linux 2.6.16.13-4-default i686
System:SUSE LINUX 10.1 (i586)
KDE:3.5.1 Level "a"

When I try to install VLC the following message displays

libart_lgpl.so.2 is needed by vlc-0.2.80-1.i686
libdb.so.2 is needed by vlc-0.2.80-1.i686
libgnome.so.32 is needed by vlc-0.2.80-1.i686
libgnomesupport.so.0 is needed by vlc-0.2.80-1.i686
libgnomeui.so.32 is needed by vlc-0.2.80-1.i686
libpng.so.2 is needed by vlc-0.2.80-1.i686
libqt.so.2 is needed by vlc-0.2.80-1.i686
I have typed in...


Rpm rpm -ivh /tmp/vlc-0.2.80-1.i686.rpm and I have typed in
rpm -uvh /tmp/vlc-0.2.80-1.i686.rpm.

But no matter what I still get identical results.
Can anyone tell me how to install the lib files? Where do I get them? I can't just download them because I use Linux and home and I go to the Library to download files, on a windows PC.. They do not use the Linux OS. If anyone can help me with this I'd be really pleased. Thank you for your time to at least look at my situation.
Another problem I've had is with Smart.
I installed the RPM-PYTHON.. but I still get dependency errors

First I entered the command..

rpm -Uvh /tmp/smart*.rpm [/quote]

and the result was..

[quote]warning: /tmp/smart-0.41-28.guru.suse101.i686.rpm: Header V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 58857177
error: Failed dependencies:
smart-beta = 0.50rc1-10.guru.suse101 is needed by smart-beta-ksmarttray-0.50rc1-10.guru.suse101.i686

What did I do incorrectly?

I am truly sorry to bother you all with these Novice questions. Just I think Linux is a really cool OS and I would like to learn how to install things properly. I guess I'm trying to do too many things at once, I am a language hobbyist after all, learning, Japanese, Korean, Dutch, and.... Vietnamese what harm will learning another language cause? Even if it is for a PC.
