Last night I successfully installed mplayer on FC2, and want to post the
list of rpms I installed to support this. Someone else might find the
info useful. Most of the list was found on the Internet via a google
search. I'm not sure that all were needed, but installed them all
anyway. One rpm I needed was not listed there but was called out during
the installation as a dependency. All were downloaded from
freshrpms.org.
Kernel info:
[chuck@aviary mplayer]$ uname -a
Linux aviary 2.6.6-1.435.2.1 #1 Wed Jun 30 15:29:30 EDT 2004 i686 i686

[chuck@aviary mplayer]$ ls
aalib-1.4.0-5.1.fc2.fr.i386.rpm

mplayer-fonts-1.1-2.fr.noarch.rpm
mplayer-skins-1.4-1.fr.noarch.rpm
xvidcore-1.0.1-1.1.fc2.fr.i386.rpm
Since I did not know what order of installation was needed, I just used
a baby script to install whatever would, then run it again and again
until all the dependencies were finally met. Took about four passes,
plus one more when finally I downloaded libpostproc.
example of script...
# for FILE in `ls -1 *.rpm`
do
echo $FILE
rpm -i $FILE
done
. . .

erm haven't you ever heard of yum?
how about:
add this to your /etc/yum.conf:
[livna-stable]
name=Livna.org Fedora Compatible Packages (stable)
baseurl= http://rpm.livna.org/fedora/$releasever/$basearch/yum/stable
gpgcheck=1
then:
# yum install mplayer
... and bingo you have mplayer installed.
