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 am running RH9 and am very new. I am trying to set the domain name on the machine so that it has the same domain name for the interface eth1. I know I can just type domainname <name> when it starts up but how would I set the domain name and the hostname everytime it boots up. Thanks for the help. MB

I am running ./configure for gxine and I get the following out put. I have installed glib2.x but not sure how to link it to my PKG_CONFIG_PATH checking for glib-2.0 >= 2.0.0... Package glib-2.0 was not found in the pkg-config search path. Perhaps you should add the directory containing `glib-2.0.pc' to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable No package 'glib-2.0' found MB

I am trying to uninstall an RPM that I know is installed on RH9. So I do the following to verify the name: [root@localhost Skin]# rpm -qa | grep ^mplayer mplayer-skins-1.3-2.fr Then I try to uninstall it with the folowing and it tells me that the package is not installed but it seems to me that it actually is. [root@localhost Skin]# rpm -e --allmatches mplayer-skins* error: package mplayer-skins* is not installed Could someone help me out with this.

I have gotten the same type off errors when trying to get mplayer to run. Reading config file /usr/local/etc/mplayer/mplayer.conf: No such file or directory I also have ran ./configure / make then make install. So can I just recompile with the new things that I know from this board or do I need to uninstall mplayer and start over. I am so new please dont laugh. If I need to uninstall everything is there a tool? I am new to linux and also mplayer and the support is a bit harsh but I hear this is suppose to be one of the best movie players. So to get ready to recompile I have downloaded the codecs for win32 and then another that the directory is called extralite it has atrc.so.6.0 drv4.so.6.0 QuickTimeEssentials.qtx vid_3ivX.xa cook.so.6.0 dspr.so.6.0 QuickTimeInternetExtras.qtx wma9dmod.dll ddnt.so.6.0 ir32_32.dll QuickTime.qts wmadmod.dll dnet.so.6.0 ir41_32.dll sipr.so.6.0 wmspdmod.dll drv2.so.6.0 ir50_32.dll tokf.so.6.0 wmv9dmod.dll drv3.so.6.0 qtmlClient.dll tokr.so.6.0 wmvdmod.dll So should this be all of the codecs I need? What should I do next. Recompile and point the configure to the codecs directory or do I uninstall and start from scratch? Thanks, Such a newbie
