mplayer

[SyL]

Hi,
I can't install mplayer on my powerbook g4.

I add deb http://honk.physik.uni-konstanz.de/~agx/linux-ppc/debian/ mplayer/
on my sources.list

when I'm doing a apt-get install mplayer-g4 I got the following error :
mplayer-g4: Dépend: libartsc0 (>= 1.3.1) mais 1.2.3-1 devra être installé
Dépend: libggi2 (>= 1:2.0.5) mais 1:2.0.4-3 devra être installé
Dépend: libungif4g (>= 4.1.3) mais 4.1.0b1-6 devra être installé

when I do a apt-get of these lib he say that the last version are installed :?

I never used a debian system before, so I may be forget some thing ... but I think that the version of these lib -need by mplayer- aren't currently available for PPC ??! I'm in the true ?

I'd suggest to "apt-get -b source" (building packages by using apt-get) the packages which are too old on your ubuntu system.
To do so you will have to add "deb-src" lines for debian unstable to your /etc/apt/sources.list

A bit tricky if you are really new to debian though.

Best luck,
Rob

You should change that:

ftp://ftp.nerim.net/debian-marillat/
unstable
main

to:

ftp://ftp.nerim.net/debian-marillat/
testing
main

unstable -> testing.

JBilbo: The marrilat ftp contains only i386 binarys. We need PPC binarys.

Uops, sorry :oops:

BTW, It's curious that I had the "exactly" same error with de marrilat ftp in a x86 machine.

Thank Rob,

when I do apt-get -b source libartsc0 , I got the following error :

can you give me any cludes ?

thanks

If you are going to build the source code then you are going to need to install these packages:

libasound2-dev
libaudio-dev
libaudiofile-dev
libesd0-dev
libglib2.0-dev
libmad0-dev
libqt3-mt-dev
libvorbis-dev

They are used in building the source.

Ooupss OK
:o

Ok,
when I try to do a apt-get -b source for all packages need. Many of themes need other packages, which need many others ... etc ... Doesn't exist an option for use recursively this commande for all dependencies ?

:-D

Yes. They don't supply a lot of the deb packages for apt-get. Possibly because those packages aren't stable. That's a guess.

http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages is a good source of packages. It'll probably have ones you need. Other wise Goggle them.

Have you tried the Multimedia Howto? It works for me, but I have a Pentium.

I did find that using Apt/Synaptic didn't work, but the Multimedia Howto did.

[SyL]

Yes, I had already try this. The libs needs don't work with PPC,

[SyL]

Ok,
I try vlc and now no pb :-\"
