mplayer returning shared library error [SOLVED]

When attempting to run mplayer, or ncmpcpp it seems, I get the following error.

mplayer: error while loading shared libraries: /usr/lib/samba/libmsrpc3-samba4.so: invalid ELF header

I ran ldd on this library and received this message.

not a dynamic executable

I ran pacman -Syu to make sure was up to date and still received the same error. What should I do to resolve the invalid ELF header error?

Reinstall the package that contains that lib.

I uninstalled then reinstalled smbclient and received a bunch of file conflict errors. I went ahead and used the force option during the next install and now the ELF header error isn't coming up. Thanks!
