upgrade your system
pacman -Syu

Hi "arunix"

The reason "wonder" suggested what he did has to do with the fact that certain libraries are used by numerous programs. For example, libjpeg is the library (you guessed it) that decodes jpegs. When programs are compiled they are linked to the version of the library that is currently installed on the maintainers computer at time (or yours if you roll your own). As you can imagine there are quite a lot of programs that need jpeg decoding so libjpeg is a biggie. Recently libjpeg was updated to a newer version so all the apps that use that library (and there are quite a few as you can imagine) have to be rebuilt so they will be linked to the new library (which I'm assuming you are using the new version because of the error your getting). This, of course is conveniently taken care of and a simple "pacman -Syu" should alleviate most of your problems. If you search the forum (from about 2-3 weeks ago) you will find all sorts of posts about this issue. I had this issue until I re-compiled all my programs that use libjpeg.

Hope this helps!
Just a piece of future advice though, make sure to search this forum (or the wiki) thoroughly because most of the time the issues you are having has already been encountered and possibly solved by others.

the reason for upgrading you system is very simple.
when you installed thunderbird, pacman pulled libjpeg7 as dependency and the other packages that depend on libjpeg 6 didn't get updated to use libjpeg7.
to be a lesson for you and other members that do that:
never do pacman -Sy package.
DO:

pacman -Syu
pacman -S package

Are you using mplayer from the repos or a self built one?

the problem is solved and the main problem was with the [openoffice-beta] version when i do pacman -Syu at the end it shows that [openoffice] file is corrupted now i remove office beta version and the problem is solved and system is working fine...
