Mplayer Installation problem


i'm trying to install Mplayer so i donwloaded two packages :
1- mplayer-1.0pre7try2-2.i386.rpm ( for FC4 )
2- mplayer-gui-1.0pre7try2-2.i386.rpm ( For FC4 )

i installed the first one succefully. Mplayer as a command line player is working fine.
The problem is when i'm trying to install the GUI skin. i'm getting this output :

Code:
[root@FEDORA Downloads]# rpm -i mplayer-gui-1.0pre7try2-2.i386.rpm
warning: mplayer-gui-1.0pre7try2-2.i386.rpm: Header V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 16a61572
error: Failed dependencies:
        mplayer-skin-default is needed by mplayer-gui-1.0pre7try2-2.i386
So i downloaded mplayer-skin-default-1.4-1.noarch.rpm from rpmfind.net and i'm getting this output :

Code:
[root@FEDORA Downloads]# rpm -i mplayer-gui-1.0pre7try2-2.i386.rpm
warning: mplayer-gui-1.0pre7try2-2.i386.rpm: Header V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 16a61572
error: Failed dependencies:
        mplayer-skin-default is needed by mplayer-gui-1.0pre7try2-2.i386
[root@FEDORA Downloads]#
it's a little bit confusing that they both depend on each other .... any help ??!!!!!

GCC problem

i have Fedora core 4. annd i was able to install GUI maplyer interface and it worked fine untile i tried to play some MPEG clips. Mplayer crashed becauze of an error in my GCC compiler. Now, i know that maplyer requires a specific version of GCC , but i don't want to take it out cus i'm not sure if that migh effect any other program on my laptop. Please help cus i'm getting tired trying to play WMV clips on the internet .... thanks

If you will upgrade your GCC compiler properly, I dont think you will run into trouble with regards to your other applications that might be depending on that gcc version. You can either use yum or apt-get to do the upgrade for you and it will resolve all dependencies automatically.

By the way the easiest way to install MPlayer is to add either Livna or the Freshrpms/Dries repos (but not both groups); and then do "yum install mplayer".
