As I understand it mplayer will load divx4linux as a dependency.

As for the other error, I could never get the command line "mplayer" to work right on my system, so I always use gmplayer from the command line. See if that works for you, and maybe you can troubleshoot from there?

The first thing I would do is start looking around to see if I had 'libm.so.5' at all, and where it might hide. Do a
Code:
find / -iname 'libm.so*'
and see if you find
something. I only found a /lib/libm.so.6 in my system.
