libmad and VPS - not found in yum?

[rec9140]

I am trying to install streamtranscoder V3 and need libmad...

I've done this on another server no problems...but the main server my HG VPS is being a problem child..

libmad and devel headers are not found in the repos...

I am not a yum guru..

In a Debian based system apt-get update normally resolves and finds the packages needed..

yum search libmad

finds nothing...

Any suggestions to resolve this? ?

ticket already submitted... but if some one has a solution I am all ears

You should check out a site to search RPMs like rpmfind. For each of the RPMs that you download for this program, you will need to get the -devel version as well.

Searching show that these packages are needed along with their devel counterparts:
libogg
libvorbis
libmad
libcurl
libmp3lame

Searching RPM find for the libmad-devl RPM brings positive results:

If you need to build from source here is the maintainer's site:

I see that the repos have been updated to include mad now, and I've finally found an RPM for it but


My other server found all this with a simple yum install

I don't understand why these packages are not showing up in the repos??

For those who want to install streamtranscoder on their VPS I will post a tutorial on how I finally got it installed so you can be spared the yum repo disaster I went through, and should not have had too!

Once I get one little nit resolved with a network issue and I clean up my logs of what I did I will post...
