[newbie] mplayer won't run
Hello everyone! Thanks for pointing me in the right direction and suggesting that I use mplayer to play divx. My problem now is, when I try to run mplayer to play a divx (*.avi) file, I get the following error: mplayer: error while loading shared libraries: libdivxdecore.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory == I followed the suggestions in DOCS/CODECS, and did everything step by step (even to the point of cp'ing the commands I'm supposed to type). I'm really stumped now. what I did was, dl'd the divx4linux...zip file and extracted it to a special directory. I did a cp libdivxdecore.so.0.0.0 /usr/local/lib/ and I did remember to put usr/local/lib to your /etc/ld.so.conf. What am I doing wrong? Meg Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
