[SOLVED] F14 No MP3 support in Audacity

[robertdaleweir]

Hi
I want to be able to normalize some MP3 sound files for my wife's player. I had been using audacity and tried to install audacity-freeworld as suggested to provide such support. This install failed for my particular Kernel 2.6.35.13-91.fc14.x86_64.
yum install --skip-broken audacity-freeworld
error during install attempt follows -->

yum install --skip-broken audacity-freeworld

Packages skipped because of dependency problems:
audacity-freeworld-1.3.13-0.4.beta.fc15.x86_64 from rpmfusion-free-rawhide

I notice that it tries to install a F15 but fails. Can anyone help me sort out this problem?
Thanks...

Try disabling the rpmfusion-free-rawhide repo. It should then install the regular package not the beta.

Hi OZJD
Your solution allowed me to get MP3 support working within audacity. It somehow installed a beta, but an F14 one. I disabled rpmfusion-free-rawhide, as you suggested prior to running the following.

yum install --skip-broken audacity-freeworld
