libx264.so.59

Hi,
I just upgraded mplayer to the 12.1 version on linuxpackages.net. When I
try to run it I get nailed with the absence of libx264.so.59. The most
recent such lib in my system is libx264.so.56. Any ideas?
thanks, jwc

Short & simple answer - avoid packages from linuxpackages.net. Longer
answer - if you do want to use their packages, look for package
dependencies, likely they will have an updated package for x264 ready
for download as well.

I'll second this recommendation to avoid LP.net. There are other sources
of packages (or build scripts) available. I recommend slackbuilds.org.

Or build from source, which is what I did for mplayer. Had to add a
disable for ivtv to get it to build, but it works without me needing
to find additional packages for it.
