Dear all, slamo alikom. I'm having a problem with playing an AVI video file on Redhat Enterprise 4. I tried the Helix Player that comes with the Distro. but It asked for udate and when I downloaded the update, both the .bin and the rpm, it didnt work giving me this line "error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"
So I need any player, working one, that I can download, easily, to play my AVI files and RM as well.
BTW, I am a literally newbie user. ThanX and God bless

hmmm usually codec
hmmm usually codec problems are solved by installing extra packages mad by the community and not by the distribution's vendor.
but I don't know of any community made packages for RedHat Enterprise, I doubt you'll find many desktop users using it.
anyone knows where we can find mplayer rpms for RHE4?
besara7a keda RH is not a good choice for a newbie aslan; but these are matters of taste and flamewars.

Uninstall Helix Player
AFAIK you should uninstall Helix player before you install real player because it interferes with real player
Uninistall helix player using:
reinstall real player or run your *.bin file
No idea if it works with *.AVI or NOT but you can give it a try and feedback ( if it works )
BTW, Mplayer & Xine both support *.AVI try to google for a suitable rpm for your RHEL 4 or give me awhile for getting you the appropriate package

It works
At least it works without error ..
Tested myself and it plays real media ( rm ) and mp3 content
Maybe you need to put a standard for pluggable codecs / extensions

Get mplayer and enjoy The show
Get mplayer and enjoy The show
But why you are using RHEL 4 , It's for enterprise solutions If you u like redhat way use Fedora and config yum we enjoy The show bardo :)

did you install from rpms
did you install from rpms or compile?
I think distros tend to package mplayer gui interface as a seperate package yes, in case you compiled it it takes an extra ./configure option to enable the graphical interface.

Something like that
it will be something like
and if ur RHEL 4 why u don't do yum mplayer mplayer-gui
or RHEL don't have YUM ?

rhel 4 uses up2date
rhel 4 uses up2date, not yum

>There is only one thing
>There is only one thing that there is no graphical controls for this player
If you need to play windows codecs , real ,divx ... etc
In terminal
