mplayer installation

[futnuh]

I'm trying to install mplayer on Suse 10.1. I have:

- run yast (not yast2)
- via Software|Installation Source, added packman's US mirror (packman.unixheads.com/suse/10.1) to my software catalog
- via Software|Software Management, done a search for "mplayer"; I see "MPlayer 1.0rc1, jMencode 0.62 and mplayerplug-in 3.31".

Trying to add Mplayer though, I am getting the Problem "MPlayer-1.0rc1-1.pm-1.x86_64[20070115-124206] cannot be installed due to missing dependencies." "Solve" doesn't seem to resolve the issue.

As I'd prefer not to start building this from source and manually resolving dependencies, any ideas on what could be the problem?

I recommand you to try "smart" to install it~~~

[@trapine]

just open a terminal login as root.

now type rug sa --type=yum http://packman.inode.at/suse/10.1/ packman

now type rug subscribe packman and you should see subscribed to packman

no type rug in Mplayer let it finish and Mplayer is now installed.

if you need mp3's to play just type rug in lame and rug in mad.

I'm trying to install mplayer on Suse 10.1.

After typing "rpm -q -R MPlayer" on my 32-bit SuSE-10.1 PC, I see that one needs the following dependencies satisfied first, in order to successfully install mplayer:

All of the above libraries can be obtained from Packman and from one's installation CD/DVD. Since you have a 64-bit SuSE-10.1 PC, yours will be a bit different, but it still should be reasonably similar.

Note the convention for an application/library for Linux typically is the library libapplication is a library for application.rpm. This is not true for all cases, but it is true for many.

As noted by previous posters, the quickest way to solve one's dependency problems in SuSE, when installing a 3rd party application, is to use a software package manager with the appropriate repositories of SuSE rpms included in the repositories.

Good luck.
