rpm problem, now mplayer/gpm is busted :-(

Somehow I have the following packages installed:

mplayer-gui-1.0-0.103.20080903svn.fc10.i386
gnome-mplayer-0.9.2-2.fc10.i386
mplayer-1.0-0.103.20080903svn.fc10.i386
gnome-mplayer-common-0.9.2-2.fc10.i386

The problem is that when I try to run mplayer, it does with:

529 > mplayer Happy_Penguin.wmv
mplayer: error while loading shared libraries: libgpm.so.1: cannot open 
shared object file: No such file or directory

I have a libgpm.so.2 that comes with the latest 
gpm-devel-1.20.5-1.fc10.i386

The gpm libs I have are:

[root at saturn ~]# ls -l /usr/lib/libgpm*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 25856 Jul 17 06:29 /usr/lib/libgpm.a
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root    15 Dec  7 19:21 /usr/lib/libgpm.so -> libgpm.so.2.1.0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root    15 Dec  7 19:18 /usr/lib/libgpm.so.2 -> libgpm.so.2.1.0
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 59446 Jul 17 06:29 /usr/lib/libgpm.so.2.1.0

[root at saturn ~]# rpm -qa | grep gpm
gpm-1.20.5-1.fc10.i386
gpm-devel-1.20.5-1.fc10.i386

And, when I run ldd, I get this:

533 > ldd /usr/bin/mplayer | grep gpm
         libgpm.so.1 => not found

Is it me or is there a problem?

TIA
