[MPlayer-users] Cannot install

[Thomas Hulslander]

Dominik,

Have just run the rpm -ivh mplayer-gui-0.90rc3-2.i386.rpm and it did not
tell me it was already installed. hmmm... Thought I had done that.
Sorry.

I then ran rpm --rebuilddb /usr/lib/rpmdb and it went successfully, I
guess.

I still do not see mplayer in any menu in the gui, but I guess I can
live with that.

Problem now is when I run gmplayer from command line I get the
following:
[root at localhost MPlayer]# gmplayer

Looks like I am getting there, but still have problems. I do appreciate
your help, Dominik, et al.
