Unhappy RPM problem ...please help


Hi ,

i tried to install an rpm of mplayer.
the command was #rpm -ivh --aid mplayer ...... .rpm
after issuing that command it gave me an error
"failed dependencies ...couldn't find dependencies ...
aalib missing
lame missing
.
.
.

How can i find out wich rpm package provides these dependencies.

i tried this command
#rpm -q --whatprovides aalib
but it gives me an error saying
"No package provides aalib "

pls Help

Can't answer this one, but I have had good success with simply typing the missing filename into Google
Just tried it: aalib and lame both give a bunch of hits. If you can't find the packages in the hits, try Sourceforge

Hi,
Thanks for your reply. Searching the google is always an option but i wanted to know if there is an option in RPM itself that could provide me the name . I read the man pages but couldn't just find something like this.

It's because you didn't install aalib and lame first. Try to get and install them ( Google these rmp packages ) .
