    Probably the Debian installer you have downloaded does not comply with your system libraries, or your version of Ubuntu. I suggest you to install "vlc" directly from the repositories:
    Code:
    sudo aptitude install vlc
    which will handle dependencies, too.

    okay, just to try clear things up. when you install through the repositories, any other programs that vlc may depend on and require will be automagically installed. however, when you install from a .deb directly, it is unable to automatically get the dependencies. so you would have to install each of the depencies on your own.

    having said that, i would suggest you take erginemr's advice. and in future, always check to see if the program you want is in the repos.

    hi guyz

    Thankz so much your help. I was a little busy with my studies so couldn't give u feed back. I don't have internet connection on my pc so I get an error saying "can't create executable". So i think the best solution is to download the 1 by 1 nad see how that works. If there is any alternative way of doing this please let me know, I will be very happy if there is. Again thanks in advance

    Re: Can't install vlc on kubuntu 7.10

    When I issue:
    Code:
    sudo aptitude install vlc
    I get the feedback that the following packages are also to be installed as a dependency:
    Code:
    The following NEW packages will be installed:
      libdvbpsi4 libdvdnav4 libebml0 libiso9660-4 libmatroska0 libtar 
      libvcdinfo0 libvlc0 libxosd2 vlc vlc-nox
    But I am using Gnome and you are using KDE, so you may need a few more packages to satisfy the dependencies. Nevertheless, this list will be a good start.

    You can visit this site:
    http://packages.ubuntu.com/gutsy/vlc

    and download the above packages, and of course "vlc" itself, elsewhere to a pen drive, take them to your pc and install them all with:
    Code:
    cd <the folder where those debian packages are stored>
    sudo dpkg -i *.deb

    Hi again guy.
    Thankz for that advice Erginemr am gonna try it out and see what it brings out. I wonder thou if u or any one of knows of another link that I can down download vlc dependencies in .deb format because the packages that saw at http://packages.ubuntu.com/gutsy/vlc are .gz. Every time I try to configure samething I get the Error: compiler can't craete executables.

    Thanks again guyz

    Are you sure? When I click on one of the packages and proceed, I reach a debian package...
