$ cp mplayer /usr/local/bin/mplayer $ strip /usr/local/bin/mplayer $ chmod 755 /usr/local/bin/mplayer

You probably don't have /usr/local/man in system manpath, so there use copying the manual page.

Ok. I've did as above. Now everuthing should be fine except this: bash-2.03# mplayer MPlayer CVS-011012-10:39(C) 2000-2001 Arpad Gereoffy (see DOCS!) Reading //.mplayer/codecs.conf: can't open '//.mplayer/codecs.conf': No such file or directory Reading /usr/local/share/mplayer/codecs.conf: can't open '/usr/local/share/mplayer/codecs.conf': No such file or directory (copy/ln etc/codecs.conf (from MPlayer source tree) to ~/.mplayer/codecs.conf) Terminated bash-2.03# Now the solution is decribed somewhere in MPlayer user's list, isn't it?
