I have all done propoerly and it works well, with a nice GUI.
I really thank you.
Furthermore, it's the 1st soft I install after compiling it by my own, and it's really great. I totally agree with you when you say that "Properly" depends on the person and I think I'll compile often now instead of download rpm :-))

in this case, I've mplayer-0.90pre10-1.src.rpm, mplayer-skin-1.0-2.src.rpm, mplayer-font-1.0-1.src.rpm and when I try to install these files :
rpm -ivh mplayer-0.90pre10-1.src.rpm mplayer-font-1.0-1.src.rpm mplayer-skin-1.0-2.src.rpm
1:mplayer ########################################### [100%]
2:mplayer-font ########################################### [100%]
3:mplayer-skin ########################################### [100%]
the installation seems to be successfull but when I uncomment in the config file "skin = default", mplayer is unable to lauch.
Could give me more detail about the way to install mplayer properly ?
I downloaded all the source code files, unpacked them in my /usr/src/
directory, and for each, did the ./compile make make install - that way,
I didn't get CPU issues...
"Properly" depends on the person - I tend to not depend on the RPMS all
the time unless it's a huge suite (KDE for instance) - so when I install
a program on my system, I know for a fact that all the dependencies are
correctly installed and statically linked, the program binaries
themselves are compile for MY system and not a generic "distro" or
"kernel"...which causes me less grief in the end - and gives me better
performance - especially with multimedia packages...ain't nothing worse
than jumpy or erratic playback of DVD, AVI, MPG, DiVX and the
likes...and even less worry about "skinning" my apps...
