<FWIW> Last night I successfully installed mplayer on FC2, and want to post the list of rpms I installed to support this. Someone else might find the info useful. Most of the list was found on the Internet via a google search. I'm not sure that all were needed, but installed them all anyway. One rpm I needed was not listed there but was called out during the installation as a dependency. All were downloaded from freshrpms.org.

Since I did not know what order of installation was needed, I just used a baby script to install whatever would, then run it again and again until all the dependencies were finally met. Took about four passes, plus one more when finally I downloaded libpostproc.

Hmm.. seems like you were not introduced to the wonders of apt.
Its just a simple
apt-get install mplayer

Much simpler. I could not get it to work, and also had trouble using yum. What I did was a kludge, but did the trick. Next time I will try to use one of the automatic methods. Thanks for the feedback. Chuck

I have for some time tried to install mplayer but all I get is the following, so I'm actually starting to doubt that there is an mplayer out there for FC2.
[root@localhost truls]# apt-get install mplayer Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done E: Couldn't find package mplayer [root@localhost truls]#

erm haven't you ever heard of yum?
how about:
add this to your /etc/yum.conf:
[livna-stable] name=Livna.org Fedora Compatible Packages (stable) baseurl= http://rpm.livna.org/fedora/$releasever/$basearch/yum/stable gpgcheck=1
then: # yum install mplayer
... and bingo you have mplayer installed.

Yes but did not know how to get it working right. Thanks for the info. I'll enjoy a bit more automation next time, I think.
how about:
add this to your /etc/yum.conf:

Thanks again, Chuck

I never worry about the order. I let rpm sort it out. I just dump the rpms in a directory and do 'rpm -Uvh *.rpm'
