@ Santu

Same problems bro as given in screenshot (by jus writing yum install Mplayer). Its also mentioned in Stanton Finley notes for MPlayer that Yum must be updated viz net wich i hv already mentioned in my previous post abt the problem im facing as this:

1.) Now i guess b4 doin anything i will hv to update yum via net connection(a thread started by me for my Net connection is running here: www.thinkdigit.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=40780 ).And im facing problems even there so help needed there too

So no logical conclusions....


Cheers n e-peace.....

@ashu: go here for a tut about installing from source.

*www.thinkdigit.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=352726

And what you have done is wrong. yum is not for compiling from sources. Yum fetches and installs precompiled binaries. the proper command for installing mplayer is

yum install mplayer

But as you have a source file already, refer to the following link, which provides an excellent tutorial how to install mplayer in fedora.
