hi i have mandrake linux 10.1 on my computer .
How does one configure Linux for viewing movies in MPeg format? When we tried to play a movie on Kaffiene, the message comes is " error : no plugin found to handle this resource" Movie plays in windows OK.

Try using xine or mplayer/gmplayer instead to see if they report the same problem.

OK I downloaded a xine rpm file " libxine1-1.0cvs-050101.i586.rpm" I tried an installation. I got the following installation error

Installation failed:

What does this mean?

use urpmi or rpmdrake to install programs ( note that what you are trying to install above doesn't look like a mandrake rpm....)

also, if you have xine-plugins installed you probably have xine installed.

I've got several problems with Xine, too.
Try using mplayer.

They just released a new version of mplayer.
