it had already installed mplayer in my redhat linux 9 (shrike) as my terminal shows

[root@localhost root]# rpm -ivh mplayer-1.0pre7-1.i386.rpm
warning: mplayer-1.0pre7-1.i386.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 16a61572
Preparing... ########################################### [100%]
package mplayer-1.0pre7-1 is already installed
[root@localhost root]#


but mi'm not able to video files with mplayer as i'm unable to find where it is installed or how to make it play files. i won't see mplayer anywhere which could allow me to play files.

someone plz help me to solve this problem.

thank you!

Well have you simply tried to play a media file by:

$ mplayer <path-to-media-file>

Or launched the GUI by typing gmplayer from a terminal?

locate mplayer

find the path

which mplayer is probably easier if it's installed somewhere in your paths

Try 'rpm -qa | grep mplayer'.

Or just force install the package:

'rpm -ivh --nodeps --force mplayer-1.0pre7-1.i386.rpm'

thank u everyone for ur kind replies.

i tried
# mplayer <path to filename>
and it worked.

thanks once again.
bye
