Need video player. up2date and dependency errors


Running Red Hat 7.2
I am trying to install a video player. Tried several and get dependency errors. Decided on mplayer but of course getting dependency errors. So, I decided to install apt-get. Wouldn't you know it, dependency errors. Said I needed a newer version of RPM. Downloaded that. Again dependency errors. Vicious cycle. Decided to try up2date to get updated rpm. Get the following error

"Error communicating with server. The message was:
SSL_connect error"

I have used up2date before with no problems. Any help would be appreciated. I did google and couldn't find anything after looking at several links am hoping someone here can help.

Try compiling Mplayer from source. Just read the FAQ, README, INSTALL, ERRATA,.... etc.

What do the errors say while installing the rpm package for Mplayer? You may have caught yourself in dependency circle.


Good Luck

Well, I found on another thread that you have to update up2date. I had to update up2date, up2date gnome, rhn_register, and rhn_register gnome.

All of them were for Red Hat 7.2

re-ran rhn_register and it says this machine already registered

That went well. But when runing up2date a box pops up that says

"Error Message:
Please run rhn_register (or up2date --register on Red Hat 8.0)
as root on this client
Error Class Code: 9
Error Class Info: Invalid Server Certificate"

I'm going to guess that compiling mplayer with gcc 2.96 is going to be a painful experiance. I forgot RH 7.2 was relased with an unofficial version of gcc.

If you search google, some people had success and others didn't. The guys at Mplayer can't even put their finger on what the problem is. Their solution is "DO NOT USE GCC 2.96!!!"

I'm sorry.

I did see RH 7.2 Mplayer rpms like the ones you found. What were the dependency errors??? Maybe those can be sorted out.

I'm 99% sure the up2date thing is caused by a recent bug in up2date. Search this forum for "up2date" and you'll see a post by me with a link to the URLs for the RPMs you'll need to download and run.

You can also get them by going to rhn.redhat.com

Good luck.

This was a little "short&sweet" install step list I put together for xine whenever I installed it on RH8. You can get all the rpm's listed below from www.rpmfind.net

Installation steps for Xine on Redhat v8.0

Installed in this order and dep's will not be an issue. IF YOUR SURE WHAT YOUR DOING and know what's installed already -nodeps in your rpm command is always a handy option also.

aalib-1
alsa-lib
libfame
liboggflac
flac
xvidcore
xine-lib

go to run "xine"

enjoy

I installed the Xine libraries from source. Do you know how to update the LD_LIBRARY_PATH to include them?
