mplayer to gmplayer problems
 

I installed mplayer and everything works fine, but i would like to run also gmplayer that i like more. What should i do?
I tried with ./configure --enable-gui but nothing is changed.

After the ./configure part, and adding to enable the gui, did you keep going thru with make and make install? Got to complete the steps to get it configured.

To trickykid
 

Yes, i typed ./configure --enable-gui
make
make install
the answere is

[root@localhost root]# gmplayer

so what happens when you type gmplayer at the command line?

It seems to me that you don't have a skin installed or it is not where it should be.

Go to http://www.mplayerhq.hu/homepage/design6/dload.html and get one.

how do i install a skin after i download it .tar.bz2 and when trying to install gui i get this:
error: Failed dependencies:
mplayer-skin is needed by mplayer-gui-0.90pre10-1
mplayer-common = 0.90pre10 is needed by mplayer-gui-0.90pre10-1

how to install skin.. thnkx

You need to get the mplayer-skin and the mplayer-common files from the mplayerhq site and install them just like you did the mplayer file.

yes but i get this trying common
and trying the other version that it asks me for

rpm -Uvh mplayer-0.91-2.athlon.rpm
warning: only V3 signatures can be verified, skipping V4 signature
error: Failed dependencies:
mplayer-common = 0.91 is needed by mplayer-0.91-2

rpm -Uvh mplayer-common-0.91-2.athlon.rpm
warning: only V3 signatures can be verified, skipping V4 signature
error: Failed dependencies:
mplayer = 0.91 is needed by mplayer-common-0.91-2

I used rpm -Uvh --force mplayer-common file name.rpm

It installed and works just fine.

You might want to wait for a Linux vet to confirm if you should do this or not as I don't want to be responsible for causing any other problems this may create with your system.
