Hi, I have a question about Mplayer. I installed Mplayer, and it is a
graphical interface version. I can use it fine by doing:
1)go to "sound & video" from my top manu in RedHat9
2)click on Mplayer

However, when I try to use Mplayer from the command prompt, by typing
1) mplayer filename.avi
or
2)gmplayer filename.avi
or
3) Mplayer filename.avi

I get the error message that

" bash:mplayer:command not found"

Could anybody tell me what I can do? I sort of remember that when I
installed Mpalyer, I used rpm. I did not actually build it from a source
code.
  Thank you very much, and have a good day.
