[MPlayer-users] Re: mplayer won't start

[Karol Banczyk]

I was having the same problem. Searching the web for solution I came to 
the site: http://www.ftconsult.com/twiki/bin/view/Cinelerra/Debian where 
they wrote:

"NB If cinelerra produces the following error:

cinelerra: relocation error: /usr/lib/libavcodec.so.0.4.8: undefined 
symbol: faacDecOpen

You can solve the problem by entering the following command as root:

apt-get install --reinstall libfaad2-0=2.0.0-0.1
"

I tried this one and it didn't work, but it worked for a later version 
of libfaad2, I wrote:

apt-get install --reinstall libfaad2-0=2.0.0-0.2

This works for me perfectly. Mplayer works once again.

Cheers.
