Hi All, A lack of understanding I think !! I'm trying to install mplayer on Athlon64 m/c Linux shuttle64.ee.port.ac.uk 2.6.9-1.667 #1 Tue Nov 2 14:50:10 EST 2004 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux libxmms.so.1 is shown as a missing dependency by yum - see below I assume that the i386 version of xmms is required whereas the x86-64 version is installed. Is that a correct assumption ? It does not seem a good idea to remove the 64 bit versions - so If I copy the i386 version of libxmms.so.1 into /usr/lib together with the appropriate links 1. How can I then force yum to complete the install ? 2. Will mplayer work ? 3. Is this the right approach ? Regards John [root@shuttle64 ~]# rpm -qa|grep -i xmms kdeaddons-xmms-3.3.0-2 xmms-1.2.10-9 xmms-flac-1.1.0-7 xmms-skins-1.2.10-9 xmms-devel-1.2.10-9 [root@shuttle64 ~]# ############################################################ [root@shuttle64 ~]# rpm -ql xmms-1.2.10-9|grep -i libxmms.so.1 /usr/lib64/libxmms.so.1 /usr/lib64/libxmms.so.1.3.1 ############################################################## [root@shuttle64 ~]# ls -l /usr/lib64/libxmms* -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 94214 Oct 13 21:21 /usr/lib64/libxmms.a lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 Nov 20 17:40 /usr/lib64/libxmms.so -> libxmms.so.1.3.1 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 Nov 20 17:22 /usr/lib64/libxmms.so.1 -> libxmms.so.1.3.1 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 65112 Oct 13 21:21 /usr/lib64/libxmms.so.1.3.1 ########################################################################### [root@shuttle64 ~]# yum install mplayer Setting up Install Process Setting up Repo: dag repomd.xml 100% |=========================| 951 B 00:00 Setting up Repo: base repomd.xml 100% |=========================| 1.1 kB 00:00 Setting up Repo: updates-released repomd.xml 100% |=========================| 951 B 00:00 Reading repository metadata in from local files dag : ################################################## 2189/2189 base : ################################################## 2852/2852 updates-re: ################################################## 375/375 Resolving Dependencies --> Populating transaction set with selected packages.
