Windows Media Files and LDAP question
Has anyone had any success with: 1 - setting up LDAP to handle your address book under SuSE? 2 - Getting Window Media Files to play under linux -- Abraham Bloom, CISSP | The New Testament offers the basis for modern abrahambloom@comcast.net | computer coding theory, in the form of an X/motif/c/shell/perl | affirmation of the binary number system.

MPlayer from http://www.mplayerhq.hu/homepage/ works very nicely to play all video formats, including WMF. For streaming WMA, I found the best solution was to get the Codeweavers Crossover plugin http://www.codeweavers.com/home/ and use Window Media Player 6.4 in the plugin tool. C.

I want to install that, but a rather crippled version is included in SuSE 8.1's distribution, and attempting to uninstall it gives me this message about how it's a vital component to, well, pretty much anything. Is it okay to just install that on top? I don't want to screw up my install... (I already had an odd situation with trying to install an RPM of an older version of Kmud (since the version included with SuSE is a highly unstable alpha) and having SuSE decide that I REALLY wanted to install the alpha...)

Just leave the version there that the SuSE installer provided. If you recompile, the "make install" part puts all the updated files right over top of the old ones. The result is you get an uncrippled version with all the codecs and YaST and YOU recognise it as a newer version and do not try to over write it... at least not yet on my system. I am running 0.9rc1 and have no problems at all with YaST fighting over versions. C.

I've tried to recompile the MPlayer-0.90pre6-39.nosrc.rpm on SuSE 8.1 Pro from the non-existent source code and with "%define DISTRIBUTABLE 0" in the SPEC file. I did it for fun to see if it's possible. I succeeded after 2 hours of searching, compiling, ... It's possible but it's a wasting of time. An installation from the original source code is relatively fast and easy. I installed MPlayer into /usr/local/ and I keep both versions now. -- Alexandr.Malusek@imv.liu.se
