SuSE 10.0 and no.. How would i do that?

hi there,
afaik suse 10 uses gcc 4 and you will have problems trying to compile it from the source. if you don't know what or how to use yast i suggest google.add this guy to your source list and you will be fine.

Yes. I've just done that and it works great through yast. If you DO use packman, or anybody else for that matter, you must not put 'http' in the location field, and you must cut the dir names and put them in the proper input box. After that, do a search mplayer (in the search input box) and everything else is all automatic.

I don't know how to add that to my source list, can someone tell me how?
Thanks.

Use yast and follow the instructions.

The instructions are a little vague to me. I put "packman.links2linux.de" for the first part and "download" for the directory, but mplayer did not show up in the list of available programs. I'm sure I'm missing something. When I added the rest of the link after "download," YaST quit responding.

What, precisely, do I type? I'm so new to SuSE I still have my cd's out.

Okay, so I followed the instructions on TinAkamia's thread, how to install mplayer suse 10, but I'm not quite sure why it worked. Could someone explain the reasoning behind those particular inputs?

Thanks.
