It won't be listed in the rpm database as I had to build and install it since no one seems to have a copy at least not that I could find with google. I did a grep on ld.so.cache and it said: Binary file ld.so.cache matches So it appears that it is getting into the cache. But when I try up2date to install mplayer it fails on the dependency. I am going to try to just get the latest copy of mplayer I can find and try installing it directly rather than use rpm.
