MPlayer-1.0pre8-8.pm.svn20060811.i586.rpm

and i do the following:

kostis@linux:~/packages> su -l
Password:
linux:~ # rpm -ivh MPlayer-1.0pre8-8.pm.svn20060811.i586.rpm
error: open of MPlayer-1.0pre8-8.pm.svn20060811.i586.rpm failed: No such file or directory

The 'su -l' command is bringing you to root's home directory, so make sure to go back into your /home/kostis/packages directory.

Also, if you aren't using tab completition try it out. Once you enter into the correct directory do "rpm -ivh MPl<press tab>" Pressing tabs tries to fill in the rest of the file for you.

The entire thing should look like:

Code:

kostis@linux:~/packages> su -l
Password:
linux:~ # cd /home/kostis/packages
linux:~ # rpm -ivh MPlayer-1.0pre8-8.pm.svn20060811.i586.rpm

then i get the following:

Code:

linux:/home/kostis/PACKAGES2INSTALL # rpm -ivh MPlayer-1.0pre8-8.pm.svn20060811. i586.rpm

Since you are using Suse, I would suggest you try this using Yast (the install software bit). Manually installing rpms always involves chasing the dependencies and Yast will do this for you.
