I tried to install latest rpm of mplayer 1.0pre5.2.
I got "failed dependencies 2:1.0pre5 needed".

I downloaded 1.0pre5, compiled and installed it(it works fine except quicktime video's have no sound). I then tried to install rpm again-got same messages.

Did I miss something?:-O :sad:

what distro are you on

rpms suck, just compile mplayer yourself.

if its SuSE its wierd.

Novell deliberately crippled parts of it so they couldnt get in trouble when people installed restricted codecs etc...

Becoming more like Microsoft daily.

i hate novell since they jumped in bed with MS

So the list so far:
Novell
Xandros
Linspire
TurboLinux

If Redhat succumbs, we're really screwed.

debian ftw
