I tried to install vcl-layer on my SLED 11 sp1 via the vlc site, using Yast - Software-Repositorys and then Install Software (I hope it is correctly written as my SLED version is German). I made some mistakes because I took the wrong version of the player. Then I became an error about libebml.so.0 is needed, so I searched a solution on several forums. I read that it would be easier if I use PackMan so I tried, the first packed was correctly installed, but now I became an error “Could not find the rpm-Package in Pool”. I am a suse-noob who thought switching from windows to suse would be easy, but seem to need some help. Could someone give me an advice or a link to some good SLED tutorials? ---

Lets just check your repositories as well, can you post the output from the command (as root user) ```auto zypper lr ``` – Cheers Malcolm °¿° (Linux Counter #276890) SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 11 (x86\_64) Kernel 3.0.13-0.27-default up 21:12, 3 users, load average: 0.03, 0.04, 0.05 CPU Intel i5 CPU M520@2.40GHz | Intel Arrandale GPU ---

I use the last and it works, current vlc version I have is 1.1.13-13.29.
