Troubles installing MPlayer on Opensuse 11.4 - please help

English Applications
1

Hi all,

Please help with the following:

Within Yast, I have attempted to install Mplayer on my recently upgraded opensuse.
It states nothing provides libjpeg.so.62(LIBJPEG_6.2)(64Bit) needed by Mplayer-1.0rc4_r33030-1.pm.1.3.x86_64

With the options of

Do not install Mplayer-1.0rc4_r33030-1.pm.1.3.x86_64 OR
Break MPlayer by ignoring some of its dependencies.

I do not want either of these options, rather I want to just have the option to install it.

The repositories I have ticked are the following
opensuse 11.4 OSS
opensuse 11.4 Updates
Packman Repository
ReDwarf
Opensuse 11.4 NOn OSS.

Any idea on how I can resolve this dependency issue / install the software?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

I am thinking you only need to add in Packman. Please check the address to see if this is it:

http://packman.inode.at/suse/openSUSE_11.4/

And I am not sure why you have added in ReDwarf. I have not needed to add in this repository and I am not having any problems with using MPLAYER. I do know that so far, the MPLAYER Plugin is not in Packman, but this has not proved to be a problem so far for me. Here is a pointer to the mmcheck script file (That you must make executable to use, that can help check all of your multimedia setup: mmcheck - version 2.30 - Multimedia Checker.

Thank You,

Thank you this has been a great help.
Happy to help leo_mancini, though you did not mention what portion of the help I provided actually solved your problem. There are other users here that might have the same issue, but unsure of what fix you used?

Thank You,

I experienced the same issue. Using the URL you provided, I encountered a new warning.

Let me say that I use a 64 bit setup and I run the GUI version of YaST to add and remove software. Also, there has been a change with regard to mplayer and specifically there are two new files, mplayer2 and “use mplayer2 as mplayer” files which replace mplayer. My suggestion is to switch to mplayer2 (which removes mplayer if present) and then see if there is still a mplayer issue.

Thank You,

Any chance you have other repositories in your repository list that is complicating this situation ?

What is the output of:

zypper lr -d

On my 64bit install ‘libjpeg.so.62’ is part of the package(s) ‘libjpeg62’/‘libjpeg62-32bit’ from OSS …

… and ‘libcrystalhd.so.3’ is part of the package ‘libcrystalhd3’ also from OSS.

What happens if you manually install ‘libjpeg62’ and ‘libcrystalhd3’?
