Which MPlayer will work with MDK 9.2? I've been trying to get one to work since I installed MDK. Every one I try to use needs something I don't have and can't find. The new one says "doesn't and will not support gcc 2.6" or something. Is there a complete download of MPlayer for MDK 9.2 that has all the dependencies included? Thanks in advance.

u could use urpmi

http://urpmi.org/easyurpmi/index.php

then from either the konsole type urpmi mplayer or from the mandrake control center -> software manager -> install software

to add a bit..........

go to the EasyURPMI site that heema linked. add PLF & Contrib sources (you must have both because PLF relies on Contrib for some dependencies) then use the MCC software installer, type mplayer in the search. get the PLF version of MPlayer (you will know it because it waill have -plf at the end of the version number). get any depends it asks for. also get mplayer-gui, mplayer-skins, & mplayer-fonts packages. finally, do a search for codecs & install all codecs packages you find. there are several & forget all the names (win32, realplayer, are 2 of them but there are a couple more) you should have an MPlayer entry in the kicker menu under multimedia->video when all is installed. try it. you may have to set your audio/video preferences, but not always.

I managed to get .9 installed the way you suggested. However, I can get no streaming audio from MPlayer. There were alot of files with "bad signatures". But it did install, just won't work.

You could try updating your gcc compiler ...but urpmi is probably the best for mandrake..

Read more if you want to know the history behind the gcc 2.96 problem..

Thanks for the reply. I'm going to have to ponder it. It seems like it may not be worth the effort. I just listen to some streaming audio.
