MPlayer but no GUI!
I am running Debian Sarge 3.1 on a 2.6.8 Kernel. I just installed the newest version of mplayer. It works fine from the command line, but I do not have a GUI. When I first ran ./configure --enable-gui, I get the following error:
Checking for GTK version ... Error: The GUI requires GTK devel packages (which were not found). Check "configure.log" if you do not understand why it failed. I have already installed gtk2.0-dev many times so I do not understand why I get this error, please help. :cry: |
You need to provide more information for mplayer
+ Firstly: Show mplayer where gtk is installed by paramater: --with-gtk-config=/*the path to gtk*/ --with-glib-config=/* the path to glib */
+ And after install please remember that the command to call graphical mplayer is gplayer |

There is respository with mplayer avalible: deb ftp://ftp.nerim.net/debian-marillat/ unstable main add this line it to /etc/apt/sources.list and then run apt-get update apt-get install mplayer or apt-get install mplayer-k6 or apt-get install mplayer-586 or also you would like to install apt-get install w32codecs |
This patch should make it work with gtk2.

make error...
TruongAn,
I used the following command: ./configure --enable-gui --with-gtk-config=/usr/ib/ --with-glib-config=/usr/lib/ It worked fine, no errors. Until I tired the 'make' command. Everything went well then at the end my terminal started spitting all this out: cc: ./configure:: No such file or directory cc: line: No such file or directory cc: 1:: No such file or directory cc: /usr/lib/:: No such file or directory cc: is: No such file or directory cc: a: No such file or directory cc: directory: No such file or directory cc: ./configure:: No such file or directory cc: line: No such file or directory cc: 1:: No such file or directory cc: /usr/lib/:: No such file or directory cc: is: No such file or directory cc: a: No such file or directory cc: directory: No such file or directory make[1]: *** [depend] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/MPlayer/MPlayer-1.0pre7' make: *** [version.h] Error 2 I don't understand why it says "No such file or directory" so many times. Also it says that for /usr/lib which I know for a fact exists. Does this have anything to do with me using libgtk2.0 vice libgtk1.X? |

Why do you compile from the source? The version 1.0pre7 is availble from repositories you do not need to compile it!!! I've shown above that you can install without any headache!!! |
Going for .deb
Artik,
You raise a good point. I used to use redhat and was used to installing from .rpm or from source. I downloaded w32codecs and mplayer .deb files from the link your provided. I'll try them out later today, wish me luck. |

HOWTO on it: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/ap.../index.en.html It is very powerful tool that allows you installation of a package and all its depndencies. What you need to do: add line: deb ftp://ftp.nerim.net/debian-marillat/ unstable main to file /etc/apt/sources.list it gives the source of packages for it and then run # apt-get update Updates databes of all packages and depedencies then # apt-get install mplayer Installs mplayer - and all its dependecies - it downloads automatically all you need and do the job. Also take a look on synaptic - graphical forntend for APT APT is one of main advantages of Debian of other distros Good luck |
Dependencies hurt...
I am beginning to get very frustrated....I do not have a connection to the net on my laptop at the moment so I am unable to update my packages with the link above. So I did the next best thing, I visited that link and downloaded the dependencies I needed. I ran into several problems doing this, first of all some of those dependencies had other dependencies, and so on...There were also some packages I was unable to locate and I have googled for days. Then there are certain versions required and I cannot locate them. I just want to watch movies and I am not getting anywhere with this, should I just go back and try to install from source? That still does not work for me.

If you can't beat em' join em'.
Well I decided that I was tired of all the headaches. I will use mplayer with no GUI for the time being. Maybe some day I can enjoy the look and feel of a GUI. For now, I am satisfied. Thanks for all your help. |
