This works with Mandrake 8.... I don't know about 9, but give it a shot

cd to the dir with your rpm's in there

if there are rpm's stored in that dir other than the mplayer rpm's, do a

mkdir mplayer | mv mplayer*.rpm ./mplayer

then try this

urpmi *.rpm

it should install all 3 rpm's, and prompt you for the mandrake cd's to automatically take care of the dependencies for you

if that doesn't work, and libpng.so.2 already exists, try this

rpm -Uhv *.rpm --nodeps --force

it'll force it to install... but be careful, if it doesn't work, then do an rpm -e eachrpmhere (without the .rpm on the end), to uninstall them

[root@localhost mplayer]# urpmi *.rpm
The following packages have bad signatures:
./mplayer-font-iso1-1.0-1.noarch.rpm
./mplayer-skin-default-1.5-1.noarch.rpm

I will just stuff this up hey :(
Can't be strained more and bother you guys anymore :(

I believe the bad signitures are caused by corrupt files. Try re-downloading them.

Haven't gave up yet :D

I downloaded those files, under Linux. Now downloading under Windows.
I will update this post, on how I proceeded..:)

As craftyc said I re-downloaded them (but the i386 ones) and I did the same as Saphiroth said.
This time it didn't mention about any corrupted files.
I managed to play a WMA file using the terminal just typing:
mplayer /root/mp3/testing.wma

But still I didn't get the GUI. I thought when I typed mplayer, a program will start like the mmjb (MusicMatch JukeBox). :unsure:

WoW! Pretty good straightforward instructions buildid :)
I tried it m8 :)
But I got stuck here...
./configure --enable-gui worked nicely.
but make didn't work :unsure:
So did make install :(

tar xjvf MPlayer-0.90prexxx.tar.bz2
cd MPlayer-0.90pre6
./configure --enable-gui
make
su
make install

and you wont succeed?????

have you installed MAKE ???

OIC, I gotta install that? Oops...I don't think I have that.
Is it in the Mandrake Linux CDs?

As craftyc said I re-downloaded them (but the i386 ones) and I did the same as Saphiroth said.

I managed to play a WMA file using the terminal just typing:
mplayer /root/mp3/testing.wma
But still I didn't get the GUI. I thought when I typed mplayer, a program will start like the mmjb (MusicMatch JukeBox). --- I said before. So I am partially succeeded :)
But still didn't succeded in your way. :( May be cos I haven't got MAKE. I will try to do the rest though...:)

to start the gui : type in the command bar from your start button : gmplayer this weill do .thats how i start my mplayer.

remember the zip file fonts have several fonts lets say 10-12-14-16 JUST copy 1 size to your mplayer directory

and also look in your consolle what message it will give for your gui after you have installed make . like to now if you dont succeed.


gmplayer: for the mplayer with gui
