Paul. I hacked a little on my own system, as I do have mplayer loaded, but never really used it, as xine seemed a better tool. When I started gmplayer at a shell prompt, I got several errors, although none were severe enough to prevent it from starting. What I found was that mplayer exists in /etc/mplayer, but there is another, /usr/share/doc/mplayer-1.0 which has different stuff and most of the missing files for my installation. you might try searching for all the necessary stuff on your machine.

OK, here's what I got:

$ gmplayer
MPlayer 1.0pre6-3.3.3 (C) 2000-2004 MPlayer Team
Illegal instruction

Any ideas?

Paul,

I suspect that mplayer should be in your path, so try typing gmplayer
(Graphics MPlayer) in a shell. This will at least give you the errors
that are preventing it from actually running.

Is anyone running MPlayer successfully?  I successfully downloaded the
package using yum (from freshrpms), and it shows up in the K menu. However, when I try launching it, the little hourglass icon just spins
for a minute and then quits.
