Do the following:
# rpm -q mplayer
If the result ends with a ".at" then you will need to do some house
keeping and clean up the dependencies caused by ATrpm packages. I
recommend that you get and install Smart Package Manager from
http://smartpm.org . Add Dag Wieers' or Freshrpms repository, disable
atrpms, and proceed with installing an updated version.
Another suggestion. I use the yum.conf from
www.fedorafaq.org. It works
great! Drop that conf file in /etc and comment out or delete the gpgcheck
lines (do the same for the files in /etc/yum.repos.d). Then simply type
"yum install gmplayer" and it will figure out and install all your
dependencies as well as gmplayer.
To whoever said that yum was too slow to use compared to apt, have you tried
yum-2.1.x (i.e. the yum in FC3)? It is <tons> better than the yum in FC2
(2.0.x).
