Question

While trying to use mplayer or mencoder i get a library error on libsmbclient.so.0 the file seems to be available if you check below but somehow its not pointed to the right place. This is centos5. Does anyone know what i can do to point libsmbclient.so.0 => /usr/lib64/libsmbclient.so.0 i am guessing that will fix my issue.

root@server1 [/usr/bin]# mplayer
mplayer: error while loading shared libraries: libsmbclient.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
root@server1 [/usr/bin]# mencoder
mencoder: error while loading shared libraries: libsmbclient.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

root@server1 [/usr/bin]# which mplayer
/usr/local/bin/mplayer
root@server1 [/usr/bin]# which mencoder
/usr/local/bin/mencoder

root@server1 [/usr/bin]# locate libsmbclient
/usr/lib64/libsmbclient.so.0

root@server1 [/usr/bin]# ldd /usr/local/bin/mplayer
linux-gate.so.1 => (0xffffe000)
libfaac.so.0 => /usr/local/MediaLibs/lib/libfaac.so.0 (0xf7f20000)
libx264.so.59 => /usr/local/MediaLibs/lib/libx264.so.59 (0xf7e67000)
libpthread.so.0 => /lib/libpthread.so.0 (0x00514000)
libmp3lame.so.0 => /usr/local/MediaLibs/lib/libmp3lame.so.0 (0xf7dec000)
libncurses.so.5 => /usr/lib/libncurses.so.5 (0x005f9000)
libsmbclient.so.0 => not found

Answer 1

mplayer and mencoder want the 32-bit libsmbclient.so.0, not the 64-bit one. You need to install the 32-bit version of libsmbclient.so.
