mplayer problem

Darkenedes · 08-18-2004, 11:08 PM

Hmm, ok I think I messed this up pretty bad. I compiled and/or installed mplayer wrong and didn't use (or know about, at the time) checkinstall, so I just downloaded a Slackware package from linuxpackages.net. My problem is that mplayer still tries to run the first installation's files... I'm not even sure where they all are, so I can't delete them. I'm really new to compiling, and linux in general. Is there a way to link the mplayer command to my newly installed package that has the correct config and codecs, or am I screwed out of mplayer?

hmm
so you installed it and it didnt work? and than you tried installing it again?

What happens? Why doesnt it work?

Ok, first I downloaded the source and compiled it myself, using make install to install it. I was getting some errors, mostly it couldn't find the right directories or any of the codecs I supplied. So I downloaded a pre-packaged mplayer made for Slackware, and installed it using KPackage. But all of the mplayer commands are still pointed towards my messed up installation. When I try to run gmplayer I get:

I'd rather just delete or ignore my messed up copy and go with the packaged one I downloaded. And I'm sorry if I sound like an idiot, I just don't know the linux basics yet. Any suggestions?

Sounds like you didnt follow the directions.

If you open up either README or INSTALL before you install it, it will tell you exactly what to do. I myself use src packages. I hate the rpms(and I cant use 'em). Usually you have to run either ./configure, ./config, or something similar, than make (all). And than install. And you have to run the make's while you are root.

It sounds liek you didnt run ./configure when you had the src's. I would go back to those, and re-read the README and INSTALL, so you know the correct way to compile/install it. (I might skip the readme if the install had enough info in it. The readme for mplayer is really big, I believe.)

Darkenedes · 08-18-2004, 11:58 PM

That's what I did the first time. I followed the directions, ran config, make, and make install in root without any errors.. that's what confuses me. Everything compiled and installed smoothly (at least I thought), it just doesn't run without a screen full of errors. Is there a way to uninstall mplayer since I used make-install instead of a rpm? I want to get it off of my computer before I reinstall it again.
