I am going around this problem. Is there a solution

I have the following result when I try to install
the following rpm package.
# rpm -Uvh vlc-0.7.2-1.i386.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
libXinerama.so.1 is needed by vlc-0.7.2-1
libasound.so.2 is needed by vlc-0.7.2-1
mozilla >= 1.6 is needed by vlc-0.7.2-1
And I have:

libasound library comes with alsa-lib-1.0.6.tar.bz2
source archive, I compiled and installed with no
specific problem.
Yes, but rpm doesn't know that you installed those things
from source. It's complaining because you have no package
installed satisfying the vlc package's dependencies.
I read some post on various forums, where experts
tell it is not wise to do in any case the use of
--nodeps option.
Oh, just do it. The worst case scenario is that vlc
won't run, and that's your current situation. :-)
Also, I tried a ldconfig after installation of
libasound library, but rpm still complain. I tried
to find information in the Maximum RPM guide found
at http://www.rpm.org/max-rpm/index.html
I don't know what to do. Ignore these messages when
I have checked that failing libraries do exist ?
The error you're getting has nothing to do with whether the libraries
exist. Rpm doesn't rummage around to see if it can find libasound.so.2
somewhere. It looks in its database to see if you have a package
installed that provides libasound.so.2. You don't, so it complains.
Since you have the right libraries installed, it is proper to just
force the vlc install and be done.
