I try to install MPlayer and get the following error:
[root@localhost archives]# rpm -ivh mplayer-1.0pre6-1.i386.rpm
warning: mplayer-1.0pre6-1.i386.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 16a61572
error: Failed dependencies:
libmp3lame.so.0 is needed by mplayer-1.0pre6-1.i386
Can anyone direct me how to solve this problem? Thanks alot, you are dealing with a newbie.
just to add Im using Fedora Core 3 and when I run ldconfig I get this following error:
[root@localhost vlcstuff]# ldconfig
ldconfig: file /usr/lib/libwiretap.so is truncated
ldconfig: file /usr/lib/libwiretap.so.0 is truncated
ldconfig: file /usr/lib/libwiretap.so.0.0.1 is truncated
I dont have a clue what to do. Too bad though, because I had MPlayer for slackware and it worked well...
install lame. I don't know your distro, so i cannot post you a link to download the suitable rpm, but try the place from were you downloaded the mplayer rpm. Personally i always compile mplayer by myself. Programs like mplayer work better if they are optimized for your system.

how did this library get truncated. I thing this library is in ethereal package(using google i came to this)
do "rpm -qa |grep etherial". Uninstall and install the printed packages again.

What should i do now? where can i find all this?
In the site you posted, in the bottom of the page there are the required programs.
You can compile them from source, or search for a i686 rpm version.
The i586 version they have there will also work.
i tried that, but some of those files could not b installed, some libs were missing.
anyway i quited trying with rpms, i used the CVS original version, then -> make -> make install
and its all working

have you installed the codecs and the gui?
You cannot do this after you compile it. Also there is a nice program called checkinstall.
You do it instead of make install, and it monitors the instalation and creates/installs an rpm out of make install. This way you can uninstall a program, compiled from source, without having to keep the source.
