i am currently trying to install Mplayer so that i can view AVI's with
DivX support. I downloaded mplayer-0.17-1.20010501.i686.rpm
i am using Linux Mandrake 8.0 on an Athlon 700mhz machine with 128 MB RAM.
I have a KA7 motherboard
using GeForce 256 (generic) GeForce 256 DDR graphics card on PCI bus.
i have a Creative Labs SB Live! EMU10000 soundcard on PCI
anyways, when i attempt to use the command rpm -Uvh on the mplayer.rpm
file, i get this message
[root@charter Packages]# rpm -Uvh mplayer-0.17-1.20010501.i686.rpm
error: failed dependencies:
OpenGL is needed by mplayer-0.17-1.20010501
libstdc++.so.2.10 is needed by mplayer-0.17-1.20010501
libtinfo.so.5 is needed by mplayer-0.17-1.20010501
alright, i understand that i need to get OpenGL and the other two files
listed. first task, get OpenGL!
so i download XFree86-OpenGL-libs-4.1.0-2.i686.rpm
i try to rpm -Uvh this particular item and receive the following message
error: failed dependencies:
XFree86-OpenGL-core is needed by XFree86-OpenGL-libs-4.1.0-2
okay, no problem, i just need to do this by process of elimination,
correct? So i go get this file
XFree86-OpenGL-core-4.1.0-2.i686.rpm
download it just fine and attempt to rpm -Uvh this file and run into
another problem
[root@charter Packages]# rpm -Uvh XFree86-OpenGL-libs-4.1.0-2.i686.rpm
error: failed dependencies:
XFree86-OpenGL-core is needed by XFree86-OpenGL-libs-4.1.0-2
[root@charter Packages]# rpm -Uvh XFree86-OpenGL-core-4.1.0-2.i686.rpm

don't know what to do from here and i feel pretty stupid at this point.
im super new to linux and despite the fact that i managed to get the
internet running without help (which i saw as a major accomplishment), i
cannot seem to install the correct rpms to get good ol' Mplayer running
for me.
Help!
Luke
