libx264 problem
 
When I try to run mplayer I get:
Code:
mplayer: error while loading shared libraries: libx264.so.50: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
The problem is that I already installed package x264 and I have library libx264.so.54.
This packages are downloaded from the same site slackware-current.net.

ps My os - slackware 11, I download slackware-current packages. Is that ok?

You may need to symlink: libx264.so.54 -> libx264.so.50

I'm having the exact same problem. So, how do you symlink this? I'm new at this so any help would be appreciated.

You should ask the packager to support his packages.
If he's going to pick a domain name that sounds like it's officially sanctioned by Slackware, then he should offer better support (and not to mention unbroken packages).

As root:
Code:
ln -s /usr/lib/libx264.so.54 /usr/lib/libx264.so.50
In general:
ln -s source destination

Thanks so much! That did it!

That's good to hear. Now, this isn't the best solution, because I'm assuming the two versions of the library are compatible ... and hopefully they are. Typically if they are .so.50 with .so.54 then it's likely that they will be compatible. But if the numbers are .so.50 with .so.41, then it is much less likely to be compatible. But, it also depends on what the version numbers actually mean.
