Problem when installing the MPlayer at Fedora Core 9

cmx08 · 12-28-2008, 10:14 AM

Hi

I try to compile and install the MPlayer but I always get the error when i run the command ./compile --enable-gui. I already try to install all the missing package. But now I get the error as below:

Code:

Checking for X11 headers presence ... yes 
Checking for X11 ... no (check if the dev(el) packages are installed)

Error: X11 support required for GUI compilation.

I try to using yum search X11 to search the package but too many packages return there. I don't know which one I need to install it. So I try using yum search X11-devel than it return 1 package there. I try to install but the result return there is as below:

Code:

[root@localhost MPlayer-1.0rc2]# yum search X11-devel
Loaded plugins: refresh-packagekit
======================================================= Matched: X11-devel =======================================================
libX11-devel.i386 : X.Org X11 libX11 development package
[root@localhost MPlayer-1.0rc2]# yum install libX11-devel.i386
Loaded plugins: refresh-packagekit
Setting up Install Process
Parsing package install arguments
Package libX11-devel-1.1.4-1.fc9.i386 already installed and latest version
Nothing to do

Can some one please guide me what should I do to solve the problem.

Thanks.

Indicate the paths in ./configure

./configure --help

Anyway why are you compiling mplayer from source?

You can get in Fedora and rpm-fusion repositories

Hi Amani

Hi to try to answer your question
and ask another ( hope that's okay)

I have fedora 10 and I had the same problem
I had to get rid of Totem, (had Package Manager Uninstall it)
and installed the separate mplayer package, (different from totem )
then I downloaded the mplayerplug-in and installed in firefox

( also there is an actual mplayer site, where you can get the latest )

Default settings for streaming, buffering, etc are good enough
All the test movies on the site you referenced run fine

There are some critical dependencies - so I would read the install instructions carefully

I have fedora 10
Firefox 3.0.7
MPlayerplug-in 3.55
MPlayer SVN-r28461-4.3.2

works using KDE and GNOME desktop manager

On actual sites all Except for apples embedded quicktime movies run

Apple embedded quicktime from the apple web site crashes firefox
-I probably need to get the newer codecs for it
I even uninstall the packaged version of Firefox and downloaded from Mozilla the latest Firefox 3.0.7 and ge the same results
