problem installing again
 
Below are my problems:


Code:
[root@localhost jo]# rpm -ivh mplayer-1*
warning: mplayer-1.0-0.16.pre7.1.fc3.src.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID e42d547b
error: cannot create %sourcedir /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES

Is it possible that the /usr/src/redhat directory doesn't exist yet?

mkdir /usr/src/redhat

and then retry install.

the warning tells you theres a problem with the security of the rpm package, check out this link for a response to someone who has had a similar problem. but, as it says, it is only a warning.. and isnt the cause of the 'error' at all.

as ubertnut said, try creating the directory:
Code:
mkdir -p /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES
the -p option creates all parent directories as necessary.. although it doesnt make sense that the cause is that it cant make that directory :confused:
