You are missing two things. First, there is a precompiled plugin: $ yum info gecko-mediaplayer Description: Gecko Media Player is a browser plugin that uses GNOME MPlayer to play media in a browser. It should work with all browsers on Unix-ish systems(Linux, BSD, Solaris) and use the NS4 API (Mozilla, Firefox, Opera, etc.). If that is what you are looking for, it is enough to do a "yum install gecko- mediaplayer". You should have rpmfusion repo enabled for this, but since you have installed mplayer I guess you already do. Second, if you insist on compiling whatever you downloaded yourself, $ yum whatprovides */npupp.h qt3-devel-3.3.8b-28.fc12.x86_64 : Development files for the Qt 3 GUI toolkit qt3-devel-3.3.8b-28.fc12.i686 : Development files for the Qt 3 GUI toolkit so you should "yum install qt3-devel" and try again. If it reports another file missing, ask yum what package provides that file and install it. Rinse and repeat. As a rule of thumb, when compiling, the first error reported is usually the key one to resolve. Most errors that follow are typically a consequence of the first one (though not necessarily).
