You might also consider upgrading to Fedora Core 8.
Is there any other repository servers which you would like to suggest to add for getting new softwares or updates. Because one of the software does not work after installation from the livna and fedora servers.
--------------------
A repository is a server that hold lots of prebuilt software, like MPlayer. By default the Fedora install only has a single repository configured to the Fedora maintained software packages. However, for various reasons, the default Fedora repository does not contain every software package. However, other 3rd party groups maintain their own repository to help people like yourself install more software.
For exmaple
repository.fedora.org might hold
- X Server
- Kernel 2.6.23
- KDE
- Gnome
- Sendmail
repository.faisal.org might hold
- mplayer
- apache
- Kernel 2.6.24_rc1
In this example if a user just wanted to run Sendmail they wouldn't have to do anything extra to install sendmail. Since its already on the default fedora repository. However, if they wanted to run mplayer or the latest kernel they would need to add your faisal.org repository to the list of repositories. Once they added the extra repository they could install everything on the Fedora and Faisal repositories (servers).
Could you please tell about repository ?

My Question: Help required to configure MPlayer in Fedora Core 7.
Your Answer:
It looks like you are trying to build your own mplayer. I'd recommend just installing a binary.
The following might work: yum -y install mplayer mplayer-gui mplayer-skins mplayer-fonts mplayerplug-in
If you wish to continue building your own mplayer you can try to remove ASS support as a temporary fix. Run ./configure --help. Hopefully it will say something like --with-out-ass. Then run ./configure --with-out-ass
I am only guess you can dissable it because of this snippit of code I found: #ifdef USE_ASS ass_track_t* ass_track.
In order for the yum command to work you need to insure you have added a repository that has mplayer. To add the Livna repository, which has mplayer, run the following command:
rpm -ihv http://rpm.livna.org/livna
That command by itself should install several packages including mplayer. But to be sure you can run the yum command again to ensure mplayer is installed:
yum -y install mplayer mplayer-gui mplayer-skins mplayer-fonts mplayerplug-in
