try looking in /usr/bin - there is a folder called mozilla, which doesn't have your browser. The folder will be called mozilla-1.2 or -1.3, etc that is what needs to be typed in.
Confusing, I know But simply follow the example given, on nearly every system I've used /usr/lib/mozilla is indeed the directory for the web browser 'plugins' which is what it's actually asking for
However, read threads around this site to find out the best way to setup Mplayer, there is the standard, which works great, however, there is compiling it to fit your system perfectly, and including the codecs to decode nearly everything media related on PC's today.
Hi I installed mplayer (not the RPM) an I putted my codecs in /usr/local/bin/codecs
and make my configure =
./configure --enable-gui --with-codecsdir=/usr/local/bin/codecs
make
make install
and when I tried the GUI of Mplayer (gmplayer) it gives this error:::::
[killah@localhost killah]$ gmplayer
