[plug] DVD error in SuSe

[Jon Miller]

By "it" I meant the liba52 library, yes I'm trying to use mplayer which was installed by default via the initial install of SUSE.
As root I can only play the DVD without sound.
I had to add a few lines in /etc/ld.so.conf

When you originally built it from source (what is 'it' by the way? xine, 
mplayer, vlc?), the ./configure script probably found no codec available and 
built the program from there. Although it's now installed, it probably still 
needs to be re-built. Run the ./configure, make, make install again.

If it isn't this, check the permissions of the codec files, make sure all 
users can read them, does it play okay in root? If this doesn't fix it, 
check your /etc/ld/so.conf file and add the following lines if they aren't 
already there:

/usr/lib
/usr/local/lib
/usr/lib/win32
/usr/local/lib/win32

cheers! :)
