As su or root, type ldconfig. If you want to verify if libcdda_interface.so.0 is listed type "ldconfig -v | grep cdda". I just used cdda for short.

ok i did that and it just went to the next line....

Code:

root@beiler:~# ldconfig -v | grep libcdda_interface.so.0
root@beiler:~#

you don't have it installed then. sounds like either installed a duff rpm, or forced an installation and broke a dependency. install libcdda

ok well now i get a new error, i got mplayer running but when i try playing a dvd i get:
Error opening/initializing the selected video_out (-vo) device.

Use xv in the -vo option. If that does not work type "mplayer -vo help" and post the output.

BTW, read the manual.

how do i change the option from -vo to xv???? Thanks

You run it like this:

mplayer (options) filen.mpg

Here are some useful commands for you:

Code:

mplayer -vo xv file.mpg
mplayer -vo help
mplayer -ao help
mplayer --help
man mplayer

mplayer -vo xv whatever.mpg means
mplayer, I want you to play whatever.mpg using the XV driver for (V)ideo (O)utput.

--Shade

for fun, try mplayer -vo aa whatever.mpg
