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.
      

Hmm.. seems like you were not introduced to the wonders of apt.

Its just a simple

apt-get install mplayer

    

Much simpler. I could not get it to work, and also had trouble using
yum. What I did was a kludge, but did the trick. Next time I will try
to use one of the automatic methods. Thanks for the feedback.

I have for some time tried to install mplayer but all I get is the following, so I'm actually starting to doubt that there is an mplayer out there for FC2.

[root@localhost truls]# apt-get install mplayer

E: Couldn't find package mplayer
