I think you might be missing some libraries. Check this link and make sure all mentioned packages are installed on your system.

http://www.linuxit.com.br/modules.ph...1#videomplayer

As an FYI...RPM install of mplayer is MUCH easier ;).

http://fedoraguide.org/fc2/fc2beginn...tml#yummplayer

you might also want to try xine and totem. Make sure you put your codecs in the /usr/libwin32 folder in order to watch all the movie formats.

will rpm install allow me to play windows media 9 file...because it is my primary concern...

You are missing the skins for your mplayer installation. As far as the codecs go, grab the essential selection and/or the all in one selection. The codecs will be able to then play Windows media.

one more question... the many of the .conf files are missing....is then i need to create them or they are supposed to be gernerated during compiling???

thanks

They are supposed to be generated, but it doesn't really matter, at least in my experience it doesn't - what you really need are:
Mplayer (./configure --enable-gui to get the gmplayer)
Codecs
Skins
Fonts
and you are away.

ok, i can use gmplayer now after i put the skin the to corret floder...
but i cant play wmv9 ...the error said that it had segmentation problem....
i put the win32 codec in the /usr/local/lib/cedec floder prior to compilation...
do i need to input some special parameter prior to compilation to enable windows media support???(i can player windows media V1,V2 and wmv8 video anyway)

i have do a search google..but it seems than everyone have a problem with wmv9.... is mplayer really able to play wmv9???

thanks again
