MPlayer-svn breaking after x264 update
Hello, so I updated the x264 lib this morning and now when I try to use MPlayer through SMPlayer i just get the following error:
/usr/bin/mplayer: error while loading shared libraries: libx264.so.66: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
I checked and using locate that libx264.so.66 is there, but I have no idea of how to fix this issue, so that's why I'm posting here, surely there has to be someone who knows how to solve this? Thanks.

Re: MPlayer-svn breaking after x264 update
mplayer-svn is part of aur. you have to rebuild it against latest version of x264 or use mplayer from extra.
Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

Re: MPlayer-svn breaking after x264 update
x264 has been at so.67 for months. Are you keeping your system up to date?

Did I say months? I meant seconds...
Sorry everyone, I get lost in my own world sometimes.

Re: MPlayer-svn breaking after x264 update
just do a symlink
ln -s /usr/lib/libx264.so.67 /usr/lib/libx264.so.66

Re: MPlayer-svn breaking after x264 update
Symlinking libraries is bad... they have different sonames for a reason.
As said above, just rebuild mplayer-svn and it will link to the updated libraries.

I've done this a bunch of times instead of rebuilding the application and it usually worked out fine but a couple of them haunted me a year later or so.
i was having massive problems upgrading and finally figured out it was because of this.
I guess it's a gamble in time saved now vs. time wasted later.
