[MPlayer-users] Cannot Get Mplayer To Run

[Marvin R. Pierce]

Using Mandrake8.2, program seems to have compiled properly w/o 
errors.  Using libdvdcss-0.0.3.ogle2-2.i686.rpm  
libdvdread-0.9.2-1.i686.rpm (Xine works perfectly. Using Gladiator as 
test DVD for both programs). 

Mplayer launches OK but does not play as it cannot open a video out 
devices - results shown below; appears that Mplayer also cannot read 
libdvdread as well. Any help to put me on right track appreciated.
