you should have used yum to install it.
Note that your problems are not technical, they are legal. Licencing issues make it illegal for distributors to set up multimedia reliably on a default install.
There are simple instructions to follow - installing the mplayer rpm and its associated dependencies (can be done automatically in about one hour using yum).
Hello Philip,
I would like to know where exactly I am going wrong in the installation or what am I overlooking and thats causing these problems. The yum is for installing balance packages from the distro cd or directly from the internet. Do I need an active net connection while doing this? Will yum automatically look for relevant sites?
Will yum be the end of all my linux installation woes?
Thanks,
Rony.
