I installed the mplayer-0.50-2mdk.i586.rpm using rpm -ivh <file> command, and it seemed to install properly, finally. (I don't know how to enable -gui using rpm, though :( but I'll make do with terminal mode as long as I get to watch my movies).
.avi files run beautifully. .asf files, however, are another story. Both the audio and the video plays too fast. I thought it might be that gcc2.96 issue/bug that the makers of mplayer were talking about, so I replaced that with gcc 3.0.2, with the accompanying dependencies. Then I recompiled mplayer. Nothing changed, though. It still runs too fast. My CPU is an AMD Athlon 750, and my video card is Nvidia TNT2 Vanta.
