Hi Chenwei,

This package is a FC4 package (i think, from it's name), for Fedora Core 
4. You should probably install an EL4-package instead, and the packages 
it depends on.

Unless you have any specific reason for wantint to install this specific 
build, I'd suggest going to the Dag Wieers repository, and installing 
VLC and the libs it depends on from there.

I've done this for CentOS4 (an RHEL4 rebuild), using the EL4 binaries. 
The process is pretty much straight forward, but can be a little 
exciting if you're not used to working with packages.

http://apt.sw.be/redhat/el4/en/i386/RPMS.dag/videolan-client-devel-0.8.4a-4.el4.rf.i386.rpm

Good luck :-)

Yours,
-S
