[MPlayer-users] mplayer won't start: can't find libx264.so.60

[andrew]

Hi,

I am having a problem with mplayer svn 27137 and the latest git x264.
After compiling mplayer I get the following message on startup:

mplayer: error while loading shared libraries: libx264.so.60: cannot
open shared object file: No such file or directory

I have installed this as a shared library in the following location:

andrew at skamandros:~$  ls -l /usr/local/lib/libx264.*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 828844 2008-06-26 07:56 /usr/local/lib/libx264.a
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     13 2008-06-26 07:56 /usr/local/lib/libx264.so -> libx264.so.60
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 744280 2008-06-26 07:56 /usr/local/lib/libx264.so.60

and the mplayer configure process appears to have initially found
these files:

andrew at skamandros:~/mplayer/svn_source$ grep -i x264 config.h
#define HAVE_X264 1
#define CONFIG_LIBX264_ENCODER 1
#define ENABLE_LIBX264_ENCODER 1
#define CONFIG_LIBX264 1

andrew at skamandros:~/mplayer/svn_source$ grep -i x264 config.mak
EXTRALIBS_MPLAYER =  -ldirectfb -lXext -lX11 -lpthread -lXss -lXv
-lXinerama -lXxf86vm -lXxf86dga -lGL -ldl -lggi -lggiwmh -laa -lcaca

-ldl -lgthread-2.0 -lrt -lglib-2.0 -lesd -laudiofile -laudiofile
-lpulse -ljack -lopenal -lfaac -lx264 -lpthread
EXTRALIBS_MENCODER =  -ltwolame -lfaac -lx264 -lpthread
X264 = yes
CONFIG_LIBX264=yes
CONFIG_LIBX264_ENCODER=yes

Thanks for your assistance,

  Andrew
