gnome mplayer error


Hi! My gnome mplayer no longer starts in slackware 14.1 32-bit. I have installed pulseaudio but I still have this error:
gnome-mplayer: error while loading shared libraries: libpulsecommon-0.9.21.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
I have searched and I found pulseaudio 2.0 is installed. Why gnome-mplayer is not compilling with libpulsecommon-2.0.so instead libpulsecommon-0.9.21.so?
Thanks in advance!

Did you manually compile Gnome Mplayer against libpulsecommon-2.0.so ? if not, why would it look to libpulsecommon-2.0.so ?

I can see you going one of two ways on this:
- uninstall pulse 2.0 and install pulse 1.9(.21) [and then GnomeMplayer will be able to find the libpulsecommon-0.9.21.so it is seeking]
OR..
- re-compile Gnome Mplayer against your new libpulsecommon.2.0.so [which will make GnomeMplayer look for libpulsecommon-2.0.so insteaad]

A third option would be to recompile Gnome Mplayer WITHOUT pulse depencies (if that's an option)

A fourth option is to use something like SMplayer or KMplayer instead.

I compilled gnome mplayer against libpulsecommon.2.0 from slackbuilds source code but I have the same error, and I don't know why. The point is I was able to run gnome-mplayer untill yesterday. I must have been installed something wrong, and now compilling pulseaudio again doesn't solve the problem. I also don't know how to compile gnome mplayer without pulse audio. I think I really have to uninstall pulseaudio and not using it anymore.... it would be fain if i can build gnom-mplayer without pulse.

If you download the sources of Gnome Mplayer and run:

Code:
./configure --help
it says you can compile without pulse using this flag:
Code:
--without-pulseaudio
I am not sure why your Gnome Mplayer would be looking for pulse 0.9.21 if you compiled and installed against pulse-2.0 but maybe the pulse numbering scheme is not what it appears to be.

I would uninstall Gnome Mplayer, then re-compile Gnome Mplayer with the --without-pulseaudio flag (unless you WANT pulse audio) and see if that works. It should.

If not, then do an
Code:
ls /usr/lib/*pulse*
and let's see what exactly is going on in your lib directory...

@notKlaatu Thank you for your answer. I uninstalled pulseaudio and I tryied to compile gnome-mplayer with the "--without-pulseaudio" flag, but I have this error:
/usr/lib/gcc/i486-slackware-linux/4.8.2/../../../libgmlib.so: undefined reference to `pa_context_set_subscribe_callback@PULSE_0'
Now.... if pulseaudio is unisntalled but I still have a library located in gcc library which tells gnome-mplayer that pulseaudio is still on the system, should I just delete that file, or this will crush my system?
Maybe I should rebuild gcc, or edit libgmlib.so somehow?!...

I have to correct the above post, becouse I didn't mentioned the entire error compilling gnome mplayer:
/usr/lib/gcc/i486-slackware-linux/4.8.2/../../../../i486-slackware-linux/bin/ld: warning: libpulse-mainloop-glib.so.0, needed by /usr/lib/gcc/i486-slackware-linux/4.8.2/../../../libgmlib.so, not found (try using -rpath or -rpath-link)
/usr/lib/gcc/i486-slackware-linux/4.8.2/../../../../i486-slackware-linux/bin/ld: warning: libpulse.so.0, needed by /usr/lib/gcc/i486-slackware-linux/4.8.2/../../../libgmlib.so, not found (try using -rpath or -rpath-link)
/usr/lib/gcc/i486-slackware-linux/4.8.2/../../../../i486-slackware-linux/bin/ld: warning: libpulsecommon-0.9.21.so, needed by /usr/lib/gcc/i486-slackware-linux/4.8.2/../../../libgmlib.so, not found (try using -rpath or -rpath-link)
I don't know what's wrong. I compilled gnome-mplayer like this: ./configure --without-pulseaudio; make; --- when I try to make it I get the above errors

Nevermind. I solved this problem my self. I found this reference link: http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/vie...c3831c39613edf The problem was in building and installing gmtk package with pulseaudio installed. So I reinstalled gmtk, and after that I had an error with libpangocairo dependence file which is a part of pangomm. After uninstalling and reinstalling pangomm gonme-mplayer could be build and installed again.
Thanks for your postings!
