mplayer: error while loading shared libraries

arkanunz · 06-15-2008, 03:37 PM

Is the MPlayer package ok? (yes, that one in http://data.linux64packages.net:8080...media/mplayer/ )

When I run the mplayer command I got the error message:

Code:

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

I solved this one compilling the lib from source, but it keeps on error messages:

Code:

mplayer: error while loading shared libraries: libmp3lame.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
bash-3.1$ mplayer
mplayer: error while loading shared libraries: libspeex.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I tried to compile the MPlayer from source, but it finished with an error (and programming is not exactly my strong point).

Code:

vo_ivtv.c: In function 'ivtv_reset':
vo_ivtv.c:79: error: storage size of 'sd' isn't known
vo_ivtv.c:80: error: storage size of 'sd1' isn't known
vo_ivtv.c:84: error: 'IVTV_STOP_FL_HIDE_FRAME' undeclared (first use in this function)
vo_ivtv.c:84: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once

vo_ivtv.c:87: error: 'IVTV_IOC_STOP_DECODE' undeclared (first use in this function)
vo_ivtv.c:97: error: 'IVTV_IOC_START_DECODE' undeclared (first use in this function)
vo_ivtv.c:80: warning: unused variable 'sd1'

make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/ark/appz/system/mplayer/MPlayer-1.0rc2/libvo'
make: *** [libvo/libvo.a] Error 2

Anyone... Help? ._.'

MPlayer is looking for the shared libraries it needs to run, but can't find them. One of two things are likely:

1. You installed MPlayer without installing its dependencies. For example, you need, among other things, libjack, libmp3lame, and libspeex. Those are in separate packages, so you'll need to use your package manager to get them.

2. You installed the aforementioned libraries but not to somewhere typical like /usr/lib or /usr/local/lib. You can either move them into one of those directories, or you can specify where they are located by setting the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable to the absolute path of the directory containing them (the former is better, if you can).

Best of luck!

The only suggestion I can give is to run as root:

# ldconfig -v

Do this command before compiling new libraries and after the install. ldconfig re-links system libraries. It has worked for me.

Tnkz guys.

I'll give a try...

/* after some time */

w00t \o/

Tnkz guys, it was just some missing libs (libjack, speex, libmpcdec and libdv). Just needed to compile/install
