I've installed mplayer 1.0 pre-release version 6 and it runs fine from the command line. (The mplayer /home/movie.mpg command works fine.) When I go to install the mplayerplug-in from the rpm, it says that I must have mplayer installed. Why is this happening? Thanks |

Because you likely installed mplayer from something other than an RPM. -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Lonni J Friedman net...@li...

You're right, I did not install from the rpm. I downloaded the source files from http://www.mplayerhq.hu/homepage/design7/dload.html and then issued the ./configure make make install commands. I did not see any rpms available. The command you asked me to issue shows nothing: [root@joe joe]# rpm -qa | grep -i mplayer [root@joe joe]# ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Net Llama! <net...@li...> Date: Mon, 17 Jan 2005 15:34:01 -0500 (EST) Subject: Re: [Mplayerplug-in-devel] mplayerplug-in rpm does not see mplayer pre-release 1.06 To: Joe McCrary <joe...@gm...> Cc: mpl...@li...

It really knows nothing about your system; all it knows is what packages it installed. So when you use a tarball and compile and install from source, the RPM database is never updated. Any package you try to install an RPM that depends on mplayer it will say that mplayer is not installed - ie. it's not in the RPM database. You can a) install using --nodeps, b) install the plugin from source, c) install an RPM of mplayer on top of your existing custom binary. Each has its own problems; currently I am doing b) just because it gives me more control. --Yan -- o__ ,>/'_ o__ (_)\(_) ,>/'_ o__ Yan Seiner (_)\(_) ,>/'_ o__ o__ Certified Personal Trainer (_)\(_) ,>/'_ ,>/'_ Licensed Professional Engineer (_)\(_) (_)\(_) Who says engineers have to be pencil necked geeks? spam killer code kpwq1jkcsEzdx39gnkVvgycd15ayqq |
