Dear Wieslaw and friends:
My deep thanks. But Mplayer still won't launch. It comes up for a second, i.e.
it flickers, you can see a small dialogue box with "Error" at the top. But
then it dies.
Here is the data:
1)
sher at Dell:~$ cd .mplayer
sher at Dell:~/.mplayer$ ls
codecs config font registry Skin win32
sher at Dell:~/.mplayer$ cd Skin
sher at Dell:~/.mplayer/Skin$ ls
Blue
sher at Dell:~/.mplayer/Skin$ cd Blue
sher at Dell:~/.mplayer/Skin/Blue$ ls -la

2) config file:
sher at Dell:~/.mplayer$ cat config
# Write your default config options here!
skin = </home/sher/.mplayer/Skin/Blue>
# <skin name> means the name of that directory too.
sher at Dell:~/.mplayer$
Can you see what might be preventing Mplayer from launching?
Thanks so much again.
