Libmp3lame.so.0 and mplayer
 

Trying to run mplayer which I installed as from a tgz and I get the error

mplayer: error while loading shared libraries: libmp3lame.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I have tried googling to find where this file should be but to no avail. Can anyone help?

TIA

Alan

I knew where the page was but I tested google myself, using the keyword of only "lame" gave me the page as the first hit.

http://lame.sourceforge.net/

I naively thought that since mplayer was a available as a tgz libmp3lame.so.0 would as well :-(

You can install lame package from Linux Packages ;)

Thanks. Now it is complaining that it cannot find libXxf86dga.so.1 Any idea where that is? I do have libXxf86dga.a on my Pc

Do you have these packages ?
x11
x11-devel

Dunno. I have a full install of slackware 9.1. Perhaps I will get them

I have decided to forget the tgz and go for a compile from source
