I'm running Fedora Core 3 test 2 and all is well, but now I need to add a few libraries. So I go tot the add/remove applications item to add those libraries, then I'm prompted to insert the CD. I insert the CD which gets automatically mounted by fedora but when i click on the "ok" button the installer says that it cannot read the CD. (this is untrue because after fedora mounts the CD i can browse it without any problems)
so what could be wrong here? is the installed looking elsewhere for the cd to be mounted? I did notice that FC3 mounts removeable media in /media instead of /mnt so I tried manually mounting the CD there as well but that didn't work either.
ulimately, i wanted to install two libraries that are required by FAAD2 -2.0 so that I could add ACC/MP4 support to XMMS. the libraries are libc and gtk+

If you can browse the cd, install them directly from there. Search for the packages you need and also package-devel and then "rpm -ihv package-version.rpm package-devel-version.rpm"

i tried that but the packages that i thought had the libs are already installed.

Install the devels of the packages too if they are not installed. These contain the headers so the programs know where they are located.

package-devel-{same_version}-i386.rpm
