I've got a avifile 0.7.38 installed
bud mplayer don't work so i ask anyone, how to see movies in slackware what i need and where i can find it, please help me.

i'm newbie

What error are you getting? I have no problem playing avi files...

You could also try XINE.

If you provide more details when you say, "mplayer doesn't work"? Does it give errors? What or how are you trying to play a movie file, from command or GUI, etc?

More details get better responses.

If i type gmplayer in konsole i get this:

gmplayer: error while loading shared libraries: libasound.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

And this is result when i try to install alsa drivers:

root@localhost:/home/Linux#

Maybe i do somethink wrong, but don't know what

Now i have installed xine (lib-1-rc1, ui-0.9.22) and when i start movie i get a perfect picture, but no sound (I try some avis and mpgs)

ok, i don't quite understand how you were trying to install alsa as stated above

basically, download the latest alsa libs, extact them
now cd into that directory; do a ./configure, then do make
if no errors are reported, do make install (this is the only step needed as root)

this should set up the libs

now, stay root, and do alsaconf (this tool comes built with slack) and follow the instructions

after the modules have been loaded by the above program, run the specified amixer program or something, make sure everything is unmuted and turn up the volume

play those avis or mpegs again and see if u can get something

*edit: ok, you were using some really old libs up there, the latest is like 0.97 or 0.97b

are u using slack 9.1? if not, u will need to download alsaconf as well; just extract that, and cd into the alsaconf directory, and do ./alsaconf as root

thanks everybody who try to help me. I'm idiot^2 .
I try to install "original" alsa-drivers when i have pretty one precompiled on slackware.com.
Now sound works. I install 4 packages:
alsa-driver-0.9.6-i486-3.tgz
alsa-lib-0.9.6-i486-1.tgz
alsa-oss-0.9.6-i486-1.tgz
alsa-utils-0.9.6-i486-1.tgz

and everything works. Thanks for your time.

P.S: checkinstall is very good utility for installing and compiling packages .

P.P.S: thanks to everyone who cares about newbies like me
