I'm trying to install mplayer. After installing the rpm's I get a message that I have dependency problems, and I need libpostproc 1.0-0. My system already has libpostproc 1.0-0.5. Do I need to delete the newer libpostproc and install the older one?
Any help is appreciated

Honestly with mplayer you may be better off building from source. Mplayer is a great media player once you get it working. The problems come during the "getting it working" phase. Due to its heavy (HEAVY) optimisation, it is very picky about things like dependencies and processer architechture. Its still my favorite media player.

mplayer has runtime cpu detection.. I dont see the need for a complete home-made rebuild.

This thread prompted me to try installing it, I have been meaning to install a DVD payer for some time. I tried installing from YUM, but this failed to work, so I downloaded the source tarball. It was a straightforward install - just remember to add --enable-gui for the configure step if you want a gui interface.
Full instructions are:
./configure --enable-gui make make install
Download one of the skins, untar it to ~/mplayer/Skin, and rename the directory it creates within this to default.
Copy a .ttf file from somewhere on your system to ~/mplayer/subfont.ttf, and set this to be the default font using the preferences when you first run the gui version. Enter gmplayer to run the gui version.
Cheers

It is available on many fedora yum or apt repositories.
If you just want the rpm you can get it from freshrpms http://yarrow.freshrpms.net/rpm.html?id=534

Either install yum from http://yarrow.freshrpms.net/rpm.html?id=675 or if you already have yum edit /etc/yum.conf and add freshrpms repositories. A sample conf for fedora is available at http://freshrpms. net/packages/builds/yum/yum-fd.conf

Occasionally RPM isn't as smart as it thinks it is, you could try ignoring it's dependencies with the "--nodeps" flag, like:
rpm -i mplayer-1.0.rpm --nodeps
It might not work, but no harm done if it doesn't, cause you can always "rpm -e mplayer" later to get rid of it.

You almost certainly do -not- want to do that.
Questions for the OP: * What mplayer are you trying to install? (stock? livna? freshrpms?) * Did it actually install or not? (You said you got the dependency issues -after- installing, which doesn't sound right) * What's "rpm -q mplayer libpostproc" say?
General Suggestion: Use one of the friendlier rpm frontends like up2date, yum, or apt-get, as they handle dependencies much better and at least tend to provide more useful error messages. They will require some minor configuration, see older posts in this list or the unofficial faq for more information.
