mplayer error

mplayer: error while loading shared libraries: libgssapi.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I get that error when trying to use mplayer. The only new thing I've done is that I upgraded Firefox

I tried upgrading mplayer but still.... the same error.

Any ideas?

Re: mplayer error

/usr/lib/libgssapi.so is contained by the package heimdal which was updated lately.

My mplayer version is 1.0rc1-8 and I've heimdal 1.0.1-2 installed and everything is fine.

One of your program's version should differ from mine and you can solve this issue by several ways:
1) Wait until mplayer is re-built against heimdal [what ever version you have]
2) Re-build mplayer against this version yourself using ABS
3) Check whether there's a more recent mplayer version on another repository and switch repositories

Re: mplayer error

[root@Arch64 ~]# pacman -Q heimdal
heimdal 1.0.1-2
[root@Arch64 ~]# pacman -Q mplayer
mplayer 1.0rc1-8

so it's definitely not a thing of versions :S
