Don't use `rpm` to install it, use yum # yum install mplayer I note that package is from the rpmforge repository (since its name includes .rf.), so you could add support for rpmforge to your system via... # rpm -Uvh http://packages.sw.be/rpmforge-release/rpmforge-release-0.3.6-1.el5.rf.i386.rpm THEN do the "yum install mplayer"
