When trying to use mplayer I get: mplayer: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libavcodec.so.51: undefined symbol: faacDecOpen
From some googling I've found that other users (on various linux forums) have the same problem. Two users fixed their problems but didn't bother to post their solutions.
I had this after an update, and resolved it so long ago that I don't recall the solution, other than it was installing another RPM that hadn't been pulled in as a dependency (perhaps faac-1.25-2.lvn6 or faad2-2.0-19.20050131.lvn6).
# rpm -qa *faa* faad2-2.0-19.20050131.lvn6 faac-1.25-2.lvn6
I did find an answer on the web somewhere, here's one comment about it:
"To those getting "undefined symbol: faacDecOpen": do you have libfaad2-0 installed? If not, try to install it. Some googling suggests that this could be the problem... HTH."
