Problem with mplayer - Frederick - 2006-10-30
Right - maybe this is due to me messing around with the ATi X driver before noticing the FC6 script, but I did the yum-install of mplayer (using the instructions from this site) and unfortunately it seems not to want to play ball...
Launching from the applications menu gets nowhere, so I thought "ah, probably segfaulting or something equallly as irritating" so launched it from the console - and get the following error:
"mplayer: error while loading shared libraries: /usr/lib/libGL.so.1: cannot restore segment prot after reloc: Permission denied"
I'm pretty much full time windows so I'm really none the wiser on this - the reason I think I've broken something installing the ATi drivers without the FC6 tweaks is because it references to libGL, which I presume may be part of either the ATi distro or something to do with FC6 which I have now buggered!
Anyone shed any light? I was logged in as root when I got the error, I've yet to try it as a standard user.
Cheers :)

From what I can guess, I think this may well be something to do with the ATi driver. Unfortuantely, owning no ATi cards myself, I can't verify this.
Running mplayer as root works for me, but I'm using livna's kmod-nvidia with a Geforce 6600 GT.
Could you run this command so we can possibly get more info about this issue?
Code:
$ ls -lh /usr/lib | grep GLProblem with mplayer - anyweb - 2006-10-30
are you using FCR6 32 bit or 64bit ? as the article for installing mplayer was directed at 32 bit...
cheers

Problem with mplayer - Frederick - 2006-10-30
I'm running it 32bit (amd athlon 3000xp)... as the system was nigh-on virgin, I've done a quick reinstall of it and I'm about to reinstall the packages...
ls -lh /usr/lib | grep GL on my virgin system returns

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 512K Sep 30 22:53 libGLU.so.1.3.060501I'll reinstall the packages, see if it works on the standard FC6 X drivers, then do the *proper* ATi install (with tweaks this time!) and report back :)
Cheers!

ok, done all the steps bar the ATi drivers, and mplayer now starts up - ls -lh /usr/lib | grep GL shows:
Code:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Oct 30 19:55 libGL.so -> libGL.so.1
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 Oct 30 19:49 libGL.so.1 -> libGL.so.1.2

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 512K Sep 30 22:53 libGLU.so.1.3.060501mplayer won't play any streamed MP3 playlists though (www.di.fm in particular) - I can sort that out later though... now for the ATi installation!
arg - now the ATi installation bombs out with
Code:
Generating package: custom-package/FC6
./packages/custom-package/ati-packager.sh: line 195: /etc/profile.d/qt.sh: No such file or directory
Removing temporary directory: fglrx-installbugger and feck :( nothing is simple!!!
success - to get the phoronix script working on virgin FC6, first do
Code:
yum -y install qt-develthat will allow it to build the rpm's, now to install them!
Problem with mplayer - Frederick - 2006-10-30
right - rather than append this, i'll do a bit of a walkthrough to install the ATi drivers on FC6
1 - download the ATi driver version 8.29.6 from www.ati.com
2 - download the patching script for the ATi drivers from [/url][url=http://www.phoronix.com/redblog/downloads/...96-generator.sh]http://www.phoronix.com/redblog/downloads/...96-generator.sh
3 - open a terminal and type
Code:
su
yum -y install kernel-devel qt-devel compat-libstdc++-334 - when all that is finished, type
Code:
sh fglrx-fc6-8296-generator.sh5 - let it do it's thing, when it's finished, type
Code:
rpm -ivh kernel-module*6 - then type
Code:
rpm -ivh ATI*7 - then type
Code:
gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf8 - append the following text to the bottom of the xorg.conf file
Code:
Section "Extensions"
Option "Composite" "Disable"
EndSection9 - reboot (or restart X, whichever is easiest) and when everything comes back up, launch a terminal, and type
Code:
fireglcontrolpaneland it should show up that the ATi driver is installed and happy... still doesn't let you enable desktop effects though :(
mplayer seems to have vanished from the face of X though - you can still call it from the terminal but the link to mplayer has dissapeared ... further investigation needed methinks!
(also, for the sake of completeness - here is an output of ls -lh /usr/lib | grep GL
Code:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Oct 30 19:55 libGL.so -> libGL.so.1
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 Oct 30 19:49 libGL.so.1 -> libGL.so.1.2
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 423K Sep 30 22:53 libGL.so.1.2
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 11 Oct 30 19:56 libGLU.so -> libGLU.so.1
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 Oct 30 19:50 libGLU.so.1 -> libGLU.so.1.3.060501
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 512K Sep 30 22:53 libGLU.so.1.3.060501no changes at all... strange!
(most of this info was rehashed from the phoronix site at www.phoronix.com - I just added the specific commands I used in order to get it up and running - hope it helps someone, usual stuff applies, your mileage may vary and no responsibility is taken for harming your install of FC6! :))
