Description

MPlayer SVN-r23457

./configure --prefix=/usr --confdir=/etc/mplayer --enable-largefiles \
--win32codecsdir=/usr/lib/mplayer/codecs

I tried to watch an RealVideo stream and got this:

...
Opening video decoder: [realvid] RealVideo decoder
realvideo codec id: 0x40002000 sub-id: 0x01481020
opening shared obj '/usr/lib/codecs/drvc.so'
Error: /usr/lib/codecs/drvc.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
opening win32 dll 'drvc.so'
Win32 LoadLibrary failed to load: drvc.so, /usr/lib/mplayer/codecs/drvc.so, /usr/lib/win32/drvc.so, /usr/local/lib/win32/drvc.so
win32 real codec handle=(nil)
Error loading dll
ERROR: Could not open required DirectShow codec drvc.so.
Read the RealVideo section of the DOCS!
VDecoder init failed :(
...

It's only looking in /usr/lib/codecs which is the wrong directory and if I create a symling to /usr/lib/mplayer/codecs it is working.

drvc.so is not a win32 codec so of course --win32codecsdir does not and should not affect it.
