mplayer won't start even all deps are installed

Hello friends,

My mplayer after upgrading (with some other componants like ffmpeg and other) is not starting. I did upgrading by gslapt and repo was of slacky.eu

Here's error.

Code:

mplayer: error while loading shared libraries: liblircc.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

And when I open gslapt and search for lirc package, it shows me these installed.

lirc -- 0.8.4a
lirccd -- 0.9.1

Mplayer -- r29390 (I don't know what does that mean! But that's what gslapt shows)

So I don't actually want to downgrade it... can anyone tell me possible fault?

You miss liblircc.so.0.
AFAIK this lib is available in lirccd-0.8.4. I guess you have to d/l lirccd-0.8.4-i486-2as.txz and extract it (as root) under / so you don't downgrade the lirccd-0.9.1.
You have to create also the symlink:

Code:

ln -s /usr/lib/liblircc.so.0.0.0 /usr/lib/liblircc.so.0
