[vorbis] redhat vorbis install

[Matt Zagrabelny]

eric,

i just went through this with rh 7.1, here's my experience:

packages:
        vorbis-tools-1.0-1.i386.rpm
        libvorbis-1.0-1.i386.rpm
        libogg-1.0-1.i386.rpm

        curl-7.9.8-1.i386
        libalsa0.9-0.9.0beta7-mdk.i586.rpm
        libao-0.8.3-1.i386.rpm

        openssl-0.9.6b-8.i386.rpm

        all packages were fetched from rpmfind.net or vorbis.com

i 'rpm -Uvh' for all packages except for openssl. i had numerous
packages that depended on libssl.so.1, so i couldnt upgrade.
instead, i used 'rpm -ivh --force' for the openssl package.

i dont know about the curl package making rh7.2 choke...

i also upgraded xmms to 1.2.7 (www.xmms.org to get the rpms)
there is a vorbis plugin there too.

good luck,

-matt
