mplayer dependecies

[imported_mblanco2000]

I am having trouble installing mplayer rpms on my machine. Currently running RH9.

I am running into dependecies problems:

[root@localhost mplayer]# rpm -Uvh mplayer-common-0.92-1.i386.rpm

error: Failed dependencies:
mplayer = 0.92 is needed by mplayer-common-0.92-1

So then I will run:

[root@localhost mplayer]# rpm -Uvh mplayer-0.92-1.i386.rpm

error: Failed dependencies:
mplayer-common = 0.92 is needed by mplayer-0.92-1

Each one is calling for the other one. It is like a never ending circle. Can someone please help.

I'm going to recommend that you compile Mplayer from source. You'll get much more optimizations. Because it can be a bit to tackle in the beginning, you can post any error messages that you might encounter during compilation.

source is probably a good plan if u know what u r doing, but for what u r trying to do.

rpm -Uvh mplayer-common-blahblah mplayer-0.92-blahblah

this will install both files concurrently. This same commadn works for any number of files.

u can also use wildcards. eg. rpm -Uvh mplayer*rpm (to install all rpm files in current dir starting with mplayer)
