libmad.so.0

Hi,

i've been trying to install MPlayer in my SuSE 9.3 and I can't, because i need libmad.so.0
I looked for it in phobos page or something like that (an rpm searcher) i downloaded mad rpm but YAST doesn't let me install it. Does anyone have that RPM so that he can send it to me or tell me where to download it???
I also need libmpeg3

Thanks

If you run YOU, there are about 5 groups of multimedia patches available. I am sure libmad is among those available patches.

The problem is that i have a Dial Up connection and i give the links to a friend so that he can download them (he doesn't have linux). Do you know which is the download source for YOU?

I am not sure about the exact link locations, but you could take a look at the Suse ftp mirrors and search for multimedia patches.

It's on the install disks. It took me a while to find it too when I installed MPlayer.

lzo-1.08-106.i586.rpm

Just search for lzo in Yast software install.

Gonto: are you trying to compile mplayer or do you install from rpm? In the first case, you should look for the mad-devel package. In the second case you need only mad. Most of these multimedia packages can be found at http://packman.links2linux.org/ . A very nice tool to find out which package contains a certain file is 'pin'.

Kdr Kane i have just installed that package and my Suse is still asking for libmad.so.0 ............ what else did you install besides it???

abisko00 i've alredy looked at packman, in fact that's where i downloaded MPlayer! and mad isn't there or if it is, i can't find it

I mentioned in my previous post that libmad was available in the multimedia patches if you run YOU. Did you even try that?

Here is a list of all the rpms that CAN be installed on SuSE 9.3. Now, your mileage may vary and certain countries frown upon you installing some of them. But, I think this list is complete if you want a fully functioning MPlayer.

divx4linux-20030428-0.pm.0.i386.rpm
lame-3.96.1-pm.1.i586.rpm
libdvdcss-1.2.8-1.i386.rpm
libogg-1.1.2-0.pm.0.i686.rpm
libtheora-1.0alpha4-0.pm.0.i686.rpm
lzo-1.08-106.i586.rpm
w32codec-all-20050216-0.pm.0.i386.rpm
MPlayer-1.0pre7-pm.2.i686.rpm

Did you install this package:
mad-0.15.1b-31.i586.rpm

Check with 'rpm -q mad'
