FC6 and mplayer failure


Fresh install of FC6. I added livna and feshrpms repos so that I could yum for mplayer. Installation looked good, BUT!

mplayer: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libavcodec.so.51: undefined symbol: faacDecOpen
Any ideas?
Also, I installed all the codecs, where they should be, I think, but xine and totem both say they can't find the codecs. What's this about?
Any help, please?
TIA, Ray

The problem is that Fedora Extras now includes FAAC and FAAD2, but those versions are not compatible with mplayer. Because the Extras version is later than the livna version, the incompatible versions replaced the good versions.

You need to install the livna versions. Add this to your /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-extras.repo and /etc/yum.repos.d/freshrpms.repo to insure you only get these updates from livna:

exclude=faac faad2

Then replace the bad versions with the correct versions:

Code:
rpm -Uvh --force http://rpm.livna.org/fedora/6/i386/faad2-2.0-19.20050131.lvn6.i386.rpm http://rpm.livna.org/fedora/6/i386/faac-1.25-2.lvn6.i386.rpm
You shouldn't experience the problem again.
