Hi guys I recently installed mplayer from source on my Slackware 10 OS, since i also enabled the gui function I tryed to create a launcher. I could not find a shell script that came with the source so I created my own. When I double click on it all it does is it opens the terminal and then it loads some stuff then all the windows close. Does anyone have a working shell script I can use? Help would be nice!

Rep:
If you had a successful build and install of mplayer a symbolic link WOULD have been made in your /usr/local/bin or your /usr/bin depending on your --prefix=PATH option. That symlink link would be named `gmplayer' which is nothing more than a link to `mplayer`.
If your build and install with --enable-gui was successful then issueing the command `mplayer` in a console in the X enviroment WOULD launch the gui version.
Yeah the installaton was successful all I have to do to launch it from a console is typee in gmplayer, I will check the binaries to see if I have a link.
Well, I dont know what this means bbut this is what I get when I double cclick on the link.
