Do you have root access?
You can download the rpm, or install from source.

Kind regards

Download the source .tar.bz2 file and compile it:
from http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-sources.html

or do this:

Code:

wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/vlc/files/1.1.4/vlc-1.1.4.tar.bz2/download
tar -xvjf vlc-1.1.4.tar.bz2
cd vlc-1.1.4
./configure
make
make install

Wouldn't it be easier to use the rpmforge repositories. Then yum install vlc?

I do agreed but OP say: "unable to use yum command"

I agree with your method then but I bet he runs into dependency errors.

Not enough user access for OP to enable usage of yum?

Only the OP can give an answer ;-)
