I have downloaded MPlayer using the MyDSL tool - I am using DSL 3.0.  The download tool ran OK - went to ibiblio, download something, seemed to install it ok and there's now a nice MPLayer icon on the desktop.  

But when I click on it nothing happens.  The HD seems to spin for a second or two but nothing else.  

Have I missed something?  I thought this was all I needed to do??? :(

Which mplayer did you install?
What do you see when you enter the gmplayer command in a terminal?

I installed the one for DSL by ke4nt; not the one for XFree86 and not the plugin for Mozilla.  From the MyDSL selection menu.

When I enter 'gmplayer" from terminal (as root?) it says "Illegal instruction".

I don't seem to have a "MyDSL" button on my version of emelfm (0.9.2).  I am using JWM and what I do have is two instances of "Mplayer" in the "MyDSL" menu which is part of the maain DSL menu.  The Mplayer icon points to gmplayer in /usr/bin, but that file is only 7 bytes in size and seems to say only "ELF" then three diamonds.  The mplayer.dsl file is sitting in my /tmp directory.  

Any thoughts?  ???
