Are you doing the install as root?? Seems to be a permission problem

AA,,

yes i am installing as a root , and i have installed mplayer ,and no problems arise

It cannot rename directory "/usr/lib/codecs", are you using that directory currently?

For MPlayer, you can download the codec pack from here as a tarball of codec files. Put those files into "/usr/local/lib/codecs/" directory, MPlayer will be able to play files those need Win32 codecs.

Hope this helps,

Download the rpm from http://packman.links2linux.org/package/Win32-Codecs and install the package using "rpm -Uvh".

You are welcome,

Not sure why this error happens;

unpacking of archive failed on file /usr/lib/codecs: cpio: rename failed - Is a directory

If I were you I would check first whether "/usr/lib/codecs" is a file or a directory or both?
Then check your user's priviledges for the file or directory or both.
Also try another .rpm if possible that daark.child suggested.

Good luck,

i have a problem on installing W32codec , ........... snipped ................ this error appears to me

It looks to me like you obtained the w32codec from packman, but you are missing the packman rpm key. Typically, one needs the rpm key from many 3rd party sites, before installing rpms from the site. In the case of Packman, the rpm key can be found here:
