Dear all, slamo alikom. I'm having a problem with playing an AVI video file on Redhat Enterprise 4. I tried the Helix Player that comes with the Distro. but It asked for udate and when I downloaded the update, both the .bin and the rpm, it didnt work giving me this line "error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"
So I need any player, working one, that I can download, easily, to play my AVI files and RM as well.
BTW, I am a literally newbie user. ThanX and God bless

hmmm usually codec
hmmm usually codec problems are solved by installing extra packages mad by the community and not by the distribution's vendor.
but I don't know of any community made packages for RedHat Enterprise, I doubt you'll find many desktop users using it.
anyone knows where we can find mplayer rpms for RHE4?
besara7a keda RH is not a good choice for a newbie aslan; but these are matters of taste and flamewars.

Uninstall Helix Player
AFAIK you should uninstall Helix player before you install real player because it interferes with real player
Uninistall helix player using:
reinstall real player or run your *.bin file
No idea if it works with *.AVI or NOT but you can give it a try and feedback ( if it works )
BTW, Mplayer & Xine both support *.AVI try to google for a suitable rpm for your RHEL 4 or give me awhile for getting you the appropriate package

yes I should...
yes I should uninstall Helix before installing Real Player. I did that but unfortuneatly RealPlayer doesn't play .avi files or @ least my .avi files. Thanx
Aiman
It works
At least it works without error ..
Tested myself and it plays real media ( rm ) and mp3 content
Maybe you need to put a standard for pluggable codecs / extensions

Get mplayer and enjoy The show
Get mplayer and enjoy The show
But why you are using RHEL 4 , It's for enterprise solutions If you u like redhat way use Fedora and config yum we enjoy The show bardo :)

This one saved me
MPlayer saved me!. Upon getting help from one of my friends, I found an intergrated package with all its dependencies and it is working fine now. There is only one thing that there is no graphical controls for this player, which I think it is bcuz it required a package I didn't have.
About Fedora, I'm considering using it but I faced lots and lots of issues that I'm discussing it in other post http://www.eglug.org/node/2017 Thanx.
Aiman
did you install from rpms
did you install from rpms or compile?
I think distros tend to package mplayer gui interface as a seperate package yes, in case you compiled it it takes an extra ./configure option to enable the graphical interface.

It's a tarball file
It doesn't work
Mplayer GUI required a GTK devel package ( which is not found )
What is the GTK devel package ?
Where can I find it ?
Aiman
Something like that
it will be something like
Depends on which GTK version u want to use.and if ur RHEL 4 why u don't do
or RHEL don't have YUM ?

Yes you need mplayer-gui , and you can grap this package form this url http://ftp.uma.es/Linux/postfix-rpms/ftp/RPMS-rhel4-various/
If you need to play windows codecs , real ,divx ... etc
Download this http://www.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/releases/codecs/essential-20050412.tar.bz2
In terminal

mplayer-gui asked for
- mplayer-gui asked for dependencies and it gave me this
error: Failed dependencies: mplayer-skin-default is needed by mplayer-gui-1.0pre7-2.i386
- About the codecs issue I tried it before but with another package and it worked just fine. BTW, I followed the same method.
Thanx. Aiman
oh! okay I forgot that,
oh! okay I forgot that, simply download atheme from mplayer sit
