Mplayer32 woes...

I think I'm almost there...

This is the error

mplayer32: error while loading shared libraries: libslang-utf8.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I tried emerging slang, that didn't work. Any idea where I get this library from? Thanks

Ok, fixed that dependency. Now I have a new one

mplayer32: error while loading shared libraries: libdts.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Any ideas? Thanks

ok, so I went with pre6 instead of pre7. I know get this error

VDec: vo config request - 480 x 272 (preferred csp: Planar YV12)
Could not find matching colorspace - retrying with -vf scale...
Opening video filter: [scale]
The selected video_out device is incompatible with this codec.

FATAL: Could not initialize video filters (-vf) or video output (-vo).

I really want mplayer32 working, it's one of the few things left before I can make a full switch from windows.

Any ideas on how to fix this? Thanks

Are you trying to install this alongside a 64bit mplayer? Are all the plugins in a spot where it can find them. Maybe you can specify a vo plugin, like xv. If you're going to try making a 32bit binary, it's probably preferrable you build it by hand, in a 32bit chroot, so you can run the ./configure scripts manually and install it to an out of the way spot like /opt/mplayer32-bin, and do the same for any dependancies that are not included in the emul-libs packages. Using the ebuilds to install 32bit software is probably a bad idea, since mixed 32bit and 64bit could wind up being in general use folders like /usr/bin. I've never tried a 32bit mplayer, but that's what I figured out when doing the 32bit xine package.

I would rather not have to do a 32bit chroot, any other ideas?

You need 32 bit libraries for 32bit mplayer. Most of them are in emul packages. If you dont have them , like this dts thingies, you have to go and fetch them manualy from for example fedora core 3 distribution, convert it to targz with rpm2targz and place libs in right places, then run ldconfig. mplayer32 is not in portage, so you have to do all this stuff manually and i wrote exact steps lots of times here in forum so search it.

In fact, there's a wiki page for this, along with a complete website! Google for "mplayer32 gentoo". The 1st and 2nd respectively.
