Hi, i installed mplayer within 5 mins: i downloaded the rpms from http://sunsite.icm.edu.pl/pub/linux/greysector/mplayer.html - scroll down this page until you find - mplayer-common - mplayer - mplayer-gui - default skin package ..click and download... also download lame-libs from http://sunsite.icm.edu.pl/pub/linux/greysector/apt/7.3/RPMS.testing/ then copy-paste this line in the directory, where you copied all those files. rpm -Uvh mplayer-common-1.0pre5-2.i386.rpm mplayer-gui-1.0pre5-2.i386.rpm mplayer-skin-default-1.4-1.noarch.rpm lame-libs-3.96-1.i386.rpm change the last filename - lame-libs-3.96-1.i386.rpm to the version you downloaded and then press enter. thats all. if you need also the mplayerplugin, do not forget to rpm -Uvh mplayer-1.0pre5-2.i386.rpm. now you are fine. with this, it workes for my installation perfectly.
