[MPlayer-users] /usr/etc/mplayer/mplayer.conf: No such file or directory

[Manfred Seich]

Hi, all,

I´m new in this community and I have no experience with mplayer.

I have a Suse 9.0 operating system.
kernel version:
linux 2.4.21-99-default
libc version:
/lib/libc.so.6
gcc and ld versions:
gcc version 3.3.1

I´ve installed mplayer and I´ve got this exception, after trying "mplayer 
dvd://1":

Now I´m very confused. I followed exactly installation instruction as 
described here:
http://home.t-online.de/home/hubertus.sandmann/Video-DVDs_mit_Linux_abspielen.htm#MPlayer
(Sorry, is in German)

On that page mentioned above these installation files should be installed:
ibdvdcss-1.2.8.tar.gz
font-arial-iso-8859-1.tar.bz2
a52dec-0.7.4.tar.tar
MPlayer-1.0pre3.tar.tar
libmad-0.15.0b.tar.gz
Blue-1.0.tar.bz

Interesting is, that no files are in /usr/etc/mplayer directory. But I 
installed MPlayer exactly as described above.:
linux:/ # ls ./usr/bin/mplayer
./usr/bin/mplayer
linux:/ # ls ./usr/etc/mplayer
.  ..
linux:/ # ls ./usr/lib/mplayer
.  ..  vidix
linux:/ # ls ./usr/local/src/MPlayer-1.0pre3/Gui/mplayer
.         common.h  menu.c     mw.c  pb.o     play.h  sw.o       widgets.o
..        common.o  menu.o     mw.o  pixmaps  play.o  widgets.c
common.c  gtk       mplayer.h  pb.c  play.c   sw.c    widgets.h
linux:/ # ls ./usr/local/src/MPlayer-1.0pre3/mplayer
./usr/local/src/MPlayer-1.0pre3/mplayer
linux:/ # ls ./usr/share/mplayer
.  ..  Skin  font

Do you have an idea, if I should install completly new or do I have only add 
a further installation step???

Thank you very much.

Best regards.
Manni
