This is not much for us so we can help you. Which version of openSUSE? Which desktop?

Do you get that error during the installation? And where/when do you get it? You should describe exactly what you are doing and where you are cliocking and what happened then. We can NOT look over your shoulder!

He’s running SUSE-Linux-Enterprise-Server-11-SP2 11.2.2-1.234. I’m helping him with VLC over on another thread(https://forums.opensuse.org/english/get-technical-help-here/64-bit/483190-vlc-wont-start-up-working-two-weeks.html#post2526572). I don’t think he gets that SLES is supported so he can just open a ticket.

heres what i did to get to this point. 3 fresh installs in 2 weeks from the cd i created on another computer. tried to get Mplayer working on the first 2 installs. Xfree86 crashed and i couldnt even get a gui so i had to get up and running and did a fresh install # 3. downloaded all of the dependencies that i thought i needed from many different sources and types of files including tar, .gz. rpm’s repositories etc… I put most all of the downloads in /usr/share and unpacked and unzipped things in /usr/share. theres a bunch of stuff in there now. I get all kinds of errors and dependency issues that wont allow vlc, mplayer, or mplayer2 to work. Seems like every file i downloaded needed some special technique or dependency that i could not figure out. some installed some didnt. I guess what i need is some advice on what to do now. should i delete the stuff i put in /usr/share?? how do i clean this mess up that i started. I have hundreds of programs and rpms that are in there and i would guess maybe 20 percent installed correctly. what do i do with the rest of them?? what do i do to get vlc running and clean everything up?? its rather overwhelming. been reading up on shared libraries, compilers and trying to figure out how to install a bunch of rpms at one time. i dont even know if rpms work on my system or i need to use repositories or tar files. its so darn confusing im pulling my hair out.

And mixing SLES with repos designed for openSUSE 11.2.

INMHO, he should reinstall SLES from scratch, open a support ticket with
them, and close both threads here. This is offtotic.

The above is an unreadable mess.

In any case, as you are using SLED 11 SP2, this is not the forums for you.
