Manually ftp in the .tbz file from ftp.freebsd.org or one of the mirror sites, and do a 'pkg_add mplayer.tbz'.


Where I can get the tbz file? It is not in

ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-6-stable/All

neither in

ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-6-stable/Latest

Does it mean that it has not been compiled for 6.0 yet?

It shouldn't mean that, but I've no explanation.  I don't find it in a lot
of places, but see no mention of it at http://pointyhat.freebsd.org.

Not sure where to go with it then, now.  I'm not subscribed to ports@,
perhaps I'll try a 'send-pr'.  At worst I'll be flamed by some overworked
admin ;-)  But, generally, FreeBSD isn't like that, so I'm really not so
worried about it.
