Ok, I'm using FC2 and decided to install MPlayer. YUM does not have it, believe it or not. So, the byuradio website told me to do "yum update". I thought this command would only update my headers. Well, it turned out that all packets were updated (it took about 1 hour)... and mplayer still DOES NOT show!!! On top of that, I had a very good-looking font set up, Nimbus Sans pt 7, and during the update something happened that now that font's bold is UGLY!!!!! Aaaaaah!!!
To fix the font thing I have already tried to create a folder to hold true type fonts and add the folder to the font path. However, the font is still not seen by the system PREFERENCES. To install mplayer I have already tried to download the source (I think that's what it was) and run gcc on it, and it gave me a bunch of errors. The files I tried to download and compile were mplayer-1.0pre6-1.src.rpm and MPlayer-1.0pre6a.tar-1. HELP??? Also, if somebody could tell how to update YUM headers or add mirrors, would be much appreciated. ThanX!
