can't get mplayer to work on slackware 10.0
 

i downloaded the package from linuxpackages.net and i get this error when loading my gmplayer

bash-2.0b#5 gmplayer
gmplayer: error while loading shared libraries: limp3lame.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

what am i missing?...

please help

Taken from Linuxpackages.net (http://www.linuxpackages.net/pkg_details.php?id=5348) : "libdvdread >= 0.9.4 lame >= 3.96 xvidcore >=1.0.1"
Those are the libraries you need to get (they should be on linuxpackages.net too).

well, thats a start, but, where do those libraries go???

Just download lame as you downloaded mplayer (this is the link to lame: http://www.linuxpackages.net/pkg_details.php?id=3257) and install it the same way as mplayer (I assume you used installpkg or pkgtool).

wait a minute i get it...

i can install them as a package too...
slackware rules all!

and yes , i am a newbie...

more problems, nooooooooo

will this ever end...

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

those darn libraries....

Lol
You need cdparanoia for that :) (it must be needed by one of the libraries you've just installed :P )

thats not in a package, so i should just install from source?

You can compile from source or get the package from your Slack CD (cdparanoia comes with Slack) or here: http://www.slackware.com/pb/searchfi...dparanoia&w=on

You might want to update your shared libraries after installing all of that by running ldconfig as root
