VLC - missing dependencies

I just got my One - nice little computer, but nothing without my beloved VLC.
Here is my problem: sudo yum install VLC works up until the end, where terminal informs me about the following missing dependencies:
Error: Missing Dependency: libgnutls.so.13(GNUTLS_1_3) is needed by package libpurple
Error: Missing Dependency: libdvdread.so.3 is needed by package vlc-core
Error: Missing Dependency: libgnutls.so.13 is needed by package ame
Error: Missing Dependency: libdvdread.so.3 is needed by package libdvdread
Error: Missing Dependency: libgnutls.so.13 is needed by package libpurple
Error: Missing Dependency: libgnutls.so.13 is needed by package vlc-core
Error: Missing Dependency: libedataserver-1.2.so.9 is needed by package acerim
Error: Missing Dependency: libedataserver-1.2.so.9 is needed by package ame
Error: Missing Dependency: libgnutls.so.13(GNUTLS_1_3) is needed by package vlc-core
Error: Missing Dependency: libgnutls.so.13 is needed by package acerim
[user@localhost ~]$

I no expert on linux - done a litte bit of ubuntu'ing - but never anything Fedora related.
What am I doing wrong? Is the any way to obtain the missing dependencies?
Just to be precise: Before trying to install VLC, I enabled "advance mode", enabled compiz and installed a "acerfand" deamon script (the fan noize was driving me insane) - have I ****** something up?

 

Just copy and paste each and google for them there are several repositories you can download and install these from

 

thank you for your quik reply,..
As I see it I only lack 3 dependencies:
libgnutls.so.13(GNUTLS_1_3)
libdvdread.so.3
libedataserver-1.2.so.9

I googled the first one, but when I tried installing it, I was prompted by :.package already installed. I then tried installing a file by the same name but with "Update" in the filename, and I was prompted with: Unable to varify - could harm..bla bla.." Should I install anyway?
Am I right about acoiding files ending with _64 ? Even if it is for fedora 8?

thanks in advance

Yes, avoid 64bit as you aren't running a 64 bit operating system.

Cheers.

 

Thanks - I'll avoid the 64 bit versions

But what about the warnings about installing the dependencies? Should I just disregard them?
And is the "Update" versions of the depencies what I need? My system tells me that the dependencies without "update" in the name already is installed.....

thanks for the help so far...

go to troubleshooting section of this link, cut and paste away and all should be well

Thanks for the suggestion - but alas, my troubles wont stop.....
When i try to install the fedora update on the page, the install stops and informs me about a missing "redhat" dependency.
I tried "yum update" but that didn't help either.....any suggestions?

 

You mean "yum update fedora-release" I assume ? (run as root of course)

 

No just "yum update" and it did alot of stuff right after that - "yum update fedora release" isn't that the same as running live update?
When I try installing "fedora-release-8-6.transition.noarch" it stops and reads" Missing Dependency: /etc/redhat-release is needed by package initscripts".....what is redhat? And I found this "Fedora release files Fedora 8 for i386" under the headline "RPM resource red-hat release" ...is that what I need?

 

No, that is updating the system to make the dependencies work correctly

 

Ok I did a "yum update fedora-release" - that didnt chanhe anything. It updated, but when I oncemore tried installing VLC it stil informed me about the missing above mentioned dependencies (exatly the same). I then went googel'ing and installed two of the three missing dependencies. I couldn't install the "libedataserver" file - I don't know why! I then rebooted, and tried installing VLC again, and this is what happened:

I'me very very confused......

*ponders*

You know.. I somewhat fear the the running of " yum update" without anything else might just about have broken your system, by trying to turn it into a normal fedora distro....

Can anyone with intimate knowledge of yum verify this ?

 

Gee I hope not....anyone? Have I broken my system, and am I therefore in need of a reinstalletion?
