I tried to install the missing packages, but they are not availiable at apt-get.

Thanks for helping,
Nikolaus
have you got the universe sources under /etc/apt/sources.list?

if not as root open that file.

ie. sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list

scroll down the page and decomment the two sources links that have been comment out by the Ubuntu team. save file.

Then apt-get update or whatever it is or spm refresh buttom then the files should be there to download.

Thanks for the tip, but I've already done this. Instead I wouldn't have been able to install the other depolver tools with apt-get.

Thats my sources.list

why the top 2 comment lines commented i think you can uncomment those sources as well cos they are standard

try uncomment those other sources see if you can download it then if not if you look on Debians side under their pool you can download them packages indiviual there.

[kleeman]

Looks like you don't have the libpng and libpng-devel packages installed. I opened up synaptic and searched for these and found they were called actually called linpng10-0 and libpng12-0 so this might explain why apt-get failed. If this is so just follow my steps with synaptic and install all the packages including the devel ones.

[NEtX]

I just had to comment the sources out and it worked. Very stupid mistake. I just didn't see them.

Thanks for helping!

[dikki]

I read this, and the HOWTO, too. I installed the libpng12-0 and linpng12-dev packages _for sure_ , but I get the error message again.

I tried to install the libpng from source before apt-get (I didn't know that their name is libpng12-0 etc) maybe that's the problem?

I'm gettin annoyed, I can't install that mplayer with GUI-support. And xchat, neither.

[dikki]

Well, I got it: the installing from source was the problem. I deleted everything in /usr called libpng*, and after an apt-get install libpng12-0 libpng12-dev --reinstall everything works fine. Thanks!

Thans y'all for the great tips.

I am fairly new to linux and i had the same problem. It took me 5 hours to find this thread and 1 hour to understand it..... still dosen't work.

here is the message i get when trying "sudo apt-get install libpng12-dev"

The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libpng12-dev: Depends: libpng12-0 (= 1.2.5.0-7) but 1.2.5.0-7ubuntu1 is to be installed
E: Broken packages

Hi,
apt-get doesn't work even for me for the same reason, however mplayer folks suggest to install it by end, even if it takes long is much better .
If you'll do this way I'd suggest you to take a look on configure option, in this how-to is suggested to run ./configure --enable-gui, other things could be added to prevent later "ball breaking" situations, for example --enable-alsa, --enable-lame.....
Right now I cannot use alsa cause i didn't do the trick above , I was advised at the end of "make" that alsa output was ignored, I haven't figure out how to enable it without rebuilding yet...

P.S. ./configure,make,sudo make install are the only things to get used to, considering the kernel you have to add a text editor and lilo/grub in you knowledge :), is not so diffcult using linux....

Hi,

I compiled mplayer in the following way.

First i added the deb-src from the universe and multiverse. (note i'm running the beta!!)

Afther that make apt do all the work for you :) Long live the pkg manager.

apt-get build-dep mplayer

apt-get source mplauyer

Then i trided to build the .deb file which did not work, so I editted the rules file thats in mplayer-VERSION/debian. (Had the rip out the 3dfx stuff)

Then its time to build the dep with

apt-get -b source mplayer.


When all is done you will have several .deb's. Install the onces you like with

dpkg -i PACKAGE_NAME.

The advantage with this is that you keep apt consistent.
