[K12OSN] Discussion on sound (not meant as a rant)

[David Hopkins]

Ok, my continuing saga with sound and mplayer.

I installed via freshrpms a version of mplayer, but it did not have the
codecs required, so I then downloaded the src code from mplayerhq.  I also
downloaded the skins, codecs, and then installed all of the missing
development libraries that showed up when running the configure script.
This allowed me to finally run make and make install to get mplayer mostly
working.  I can playback either windows media or quicktime movies that I
download from United Streaming from the command line , but, I can't launch
the gui interface, even though I included the  option to compile it.  I have
tried to troubleshoot using
http://www.mjmwired.net/resources/mplayer-fedora.html

The error message is below:

Has someone that has manually compiled seen this issue?  Also, how do I add
mplayer to the menu system (we are using gnome)?  The menu entry is removed
when I uninstall the version that I installed via yum.  If no one has seen
this, then I will follow the suggestions below and generate the debug info.

Sincerely,
Dave Hopkins
