Missing Dependency on RHEL/Fedora/CentOS: libcucul.so.0 is needed by package mplayer

I've been trying to get MPlayer installed on my server, and I finally had some success at it. So, I'll share what I've learned:

The problem would seem to be some glitches in the various repositories that prevent MPlayer from compiling properly. You can have the libcaca, caca-utils, and libcaca-devel RPM's installed, and it STILL fails to resolve the dependency.

The libcucul.so.0 dependency error was solved, in my case, by enabling the RPMFusion repos and THEN installing MPlayer via yum. I did, and managed to FINALLY get mplayer working.

I hope this helps somebody else avoid the four hours I spent researching this. :)

    No dice for me after getting both RPMFusion repos (free & non-free). Getting the libcucul.so.0 dep issue here. Maybe it’s broken again…

    “John Wayne”:

    Try:

    sudo su apt-get install libcucul-dev

    Or, simply install mplayer via synaptic. If libcucul-dev doesn’t come with it, snag it via synaptic also.

    Thanks! I had to do this in addition to the enabling the RPMFusion repos:

    yum remove faad2 faac

    Which removed the following:
    Erasing : faac
    Erasing : libquicktime
    Erasing : cinelerra
    Erasing : ffmpeg-libpostproc
    Erasing : mjpegtools
    Erasing : ffmpeg
    Erasing : faad2
