my goal was to install mplayer, i've configured my apt sourcelist to check there: deb < http://marillat.free.fr/ > unstable main
to get the latest, but now i have few problems:

- how to get "apt-get install mplayer-nogui " to satisfy dependencies?
- if i decide to get mplayer's source, i can't compile nothing, the developpment tools aren't installed...

someone could list me the packages i will need to install normal dev environment? like being able to do a ./configure
make
make install ...

and for apt, how can i tell apt-get to auto satisfy the deps?

thanks :)

ah i forgot to say, this is the 0.6.3 dsl..

Do an enhanced dsl-hdinstall. From your text it appears that you did a standard install and chgrp is linked to busybox. It looks like that is where the pkg installation broke. If you are going to install alot of software, do an enhanced hard drive install.

Roberts beat me to the `enhanced HDInstall' bit, but mplayer still won't play with the full install.  It relies on openGl libs that, I believe, are only available with the full XFree86 X server(s).

argh, so there's no way to have a decent video player on
dslinux ??

Well, you could install the full Xfree86.  I've heard good things about X.org, you could compile and install their X server.
