can anyone direct to solve this problem,thx,i am a chinese medcine student ,i live in chengdu now ,welcome u to visit it!

You are installing the wrong package. Any package thats an *src.rpm is a source rpm thats meant to be built into a binary rpm. The rpm you need should be named something like lame-3.96-0.lvn.1.2.rpm.

If you installed these packages using yum or apt, you would not be facing these problems. yum and apt are package managers for Fedora/Redhat and automatically resolve dependencies. Since you seem to be using RHEL, go to dags repository for RHEL and download apt and synaptic and install them. There are instructions on the website on how to use them to manage packages on your system.

if development packages are installed in your system ( compilers, make), an command like:
will compile and build you the lame-3.96-0.lvn.1.2.rpm you need.
If not then either install them or find and download the rpm and not the source rpm.

go to http://rpm.pbone.net & type what you need like libmp3lame.so.1 it'll search & give the rpm to you download & enjoy.
don't download src it's the source

i still didn't solve the problem,i have installed these rpm packages,
apt-0.5.15cnc6-4.1.el3.rf.i386.rpm yum-2.0.7-2.1.el3.test.noarch.rpm
apt-devel-0.5.15cnc6-4.1.el3.rf.i386.rpm
but when typied the command:rpm -ivh lame-3.96-0.lvn.1.2.src.rpm,then these words appeared again:
[root@localhost root]# rpm -ivh lame-3.96-0.lvn.1.2.src.rpm

i have searched the libmp3lame.so.0,but there's no result.
i have also used the command "rpmerbuilt":like this
[root@localhost root]# rpmbuild -rebuild lame-3.96-0.1vn.1.2.src.rpm
rpmbuild: arguments to --root (-r) must begin with a /

i downloaded lame-3.96.tar.gz:
[root@localhost root]# tar zxvf lame-3.96.tar.gz
lame-3.96/
lame-3.96/README
lame-3.96/Makefile.am.global
lame-3.96/COPYING
lame-3.96/ChangeLog
.........
[root@localhost root]# cd /root/lame-3.96
[root@localhost lame-3.96]# config
bash: config: command not found
[root@localhost lame-3.96]#
i don't know how to do,generally,i should config ,then make,last make install,but no reaction.it's so joking.
i cliked the button:"thanks",all of u ,but i don't know what does this mean

We've already explained that you do not need to install the src rpm since it will not resolve your problem. The src.rpm is mean for rebuilding or for people to take a look at the source. If you have installed apt and synaptic, do as root,

Mplayer and all its dependencies should then be installed. Don't type the "#" they just show that you have to be root.

here goes nothing bro.. go to http://dag.wieers.com/home-made/apt/packages.php download - apt Debian's Advanced Packaging Tool with RPM support and download synaptic Graphical package management program using apt after inthe redhat startmenu you'll get synaptic pakage maneger click that & click reload it'll automatically go to internet and get all pakages for RHEL3 click on search type mplayer it'll automatically resolve dependencies and intall mplayer. that should do once you download RPMs it's platform dependent like RHEL3/ RHEL2.1/fedora3/redhat9 so be sure always you download to the correct platform if this did the thing send me a thanks ok!!!!

hi,frends,i am facing new problems,i installed mplayer by using the synaptic packages manager,but i can't play the rm or rmvb file,how can i do the next step.i have downloaded the rp9codecs-20050115.tar.bz2,it's a codec for playing rm file,i melted it ,i don't to where i should cp it to .

Go to the mplayer website and download the win32 codecs from there. As root create a directory called /usr/lib/win32 and then copy and paste the codec into that directory. You can also install Realplayer 10 for Linux from the real website.

but the problem is that in mplayer you need to provide the codecs in the compilation time. SO either compile mplayer from source, it's not that hard , you just need to have the compilers installed:
http://www.mjmwired.net/resources/mplayer-fedora.shtml
or use xine instead

i am a little fool.hehe.i installed the mplayer by synaptic package manager,so i't's a rpm package,i don't know how to compile,perfect_circle told to have the compilers installed,i don't know which is the compiler.ny question is that i can give compilateion if the package was mplayer.tar.gz,i didn't now rpm how to be conpiled.
reddazz told me to downloaded the win32,i downloaded "all",which desciption is all codecs for Linux x86 (Win32 .dll and Linux .so.when i cp ./* /usr/lib/win32,it still
couldn't play rm.file,i am sorry to trouble u ,thx

Let's see.. the default instalation of redhat does not install the compilers. There should be a add/remove utility in your menu, to install stuff from the CD's. What you need is the development packages. All the info for installing Mplayer are in the link I posted you. If your problem is only the rm files, check in the multimedia menu, there may be the helix player which is an open-source linux realplayer.
To remove the rpm you installed try:
rpm -e mplayer
