MPlayer Installation Problems
 

If anybody can help me out with this problem, I would greatly appreciate it. I've read all over the forums and can't find this problem. I've updated and upgraded the apt rpm, installed apt-0.5.5cnc6-fr1.i386.rpm, and added the lines to download mplayer, but it still won't install correctly. The output is shown below:

[~]$ sudo apt-get install mplayer

I'm a newbie so if you'd like to try and help, please don't make it too complicated in the explanation. Hope the colors help in debugging. Thanks.

To tell you the truth, I don't know much about apt especially on a Redhat system but I would recommend to just install mplayer and its requirements by downloading the sources. It will most likely give you less headache and give you more control over the install.

Have you tried to install by source?

Success
 

I just successfully installed it using the source code. Thanks! I'd love to install a gui version is possible, but is there a source for it? I can't find one.

I'm pretty sure you have to enable the gui when you do ./configure. I forget the exact switch. Try running:

./configure --help

for all the options. Its something like --enable-gui.

Thanks everyone for all your help. I got everything I needed up and running, and even a plug-in installed. Took awhile, but I'm learning one step at a time.
