[PLUG] Unable to play WMV files.

[vaibhav]

 Hi Shrikant,

                       I ve tried installing mplayer by the method u
suggest. I've stuck up at last point. After making a directory named
'essential-20071007' i give command: ./configure, but it gives following
error:
[root at localhost essential-20071007]# ./configure
bash: ./configure: No such file or directory

This directory contains all dll files, i guess which require to play wmv
files.
Could you please suggest whats going wrong?
Regards,
Vaibhav
