I just download a .rpm of mplayer for suse 9.3 and every time I go to install it I get this error. Libmp3lame.so.0 is not installed and W32codec-all not found. Then when I go play a dvd I cant. Also I donloaded the codecs off of mplayer and placed them into my /usr/lib/win32 for I can play wmv and mov files but with kaffeine I dont get sound out of mov files and wmv I get nothing, no sound or video... Please help!

Then go here: http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat....i386.rpm.html and download the rpm for win32codec-all and install that, then try the mplayer install again.

Apt-Get and Portage (among others) allow users to install programs MUCH easier than Windows can. Hardware Drivers. In SuSE, ALL the hardware is detected and installed automatically! How is this harder than Windows' constant disc changing and rebooting?

Thank you for posting that. I have not used linux in about 2 years and I totally forgot about pbone.net
