mplayer's questions
 

i used debian
and using apt get the mplayer
but ,when i open mplayer
it will give me this error message,
mplayer: relocation error: /usr/lib/libavcodec-cvs.so: undefined symbol: faacDecOpen
who can tell me what can i do

I don't know if this is the case, but probably mplayer was compiled using the CVS version and who did it forgot to get the libavcodec, which doesn't come with the CVS version. I suggest you to download the source from the page and compile it.

i agree...the only way i ever got mplayer to work on my box was by compiling it...you can find the source here....

I had the same error message whenever I attempted to start mplayer. Solved by forcing a downgrade to libfaad2-0 version 2.0.0-0.5 from the stable repository, and making sure I had removed conflicting repositories, such as rarewares...
