more issues with mplayer
Reading up on the forum, I've noticed a lot of people having issues with mpalyer, especially on redhat.
Unfortunately, I'm going to add to that.
I've tried installing mplayer both from rpm (with apt) and source, and both times it produces the same errors.

ok......I assume you are using the apt rpm from freshrpms for redhat 9...
I assume the apt-get program is working properly?
First at the command prompt as root type apt-get update.......this causes apt-get to update its list of packages on the server available for download
then type(as root)
apt-get install mplayer
and you should have it

I installed MPlayer on: Redhat 9.0 compaq Presario 2500 and really had no problems at all, other than having to tweak sound card a little. Maybe you should read the README a couple more times.

got it working
Never mind. Apparently, the reason why it wasn't working was that I was trying to run mplayer in the background (i.e., gmplayer &) and apparently either the gui or gnome didn't like that.
One more thing:
I compiled mplayer using the --with-xvidcore in ./configure, but the output showed this:
Checking for Xvid ...... no.
Looking in GMplayer preferences in the codecs tab, xvid isn't there, but win32, realplay, quicktime, and all the others are.

Reading config file /home/nsong/.mplayer/config

I went through this over the weekend.
In your home directory should be a config file. If you gedit (edit) this file it says "#Write your options here"
I put two:
gui=yes
skin=phony (or whatever skin you have downloaded)
then I created a launcher using the mplayer *not gmplayer* command and everything loaded correctly.
I hope this helps.
