For each of those libraries, "rpm -q --whatprovides" on my RH9 box
says "gnome-libs-1.4.1.2.90-32".  If you don't have the Gnome libraries
installed, that's your problem.  If you've got some other version and
are adventurous, you could try installing vlc with --nodeps.  If that
results in an installation that doesn't work, you'll likely have to
build from source.

Good luck!
