The myDSL button in emelfm no longer exists. Use the myDSL interface to load the extension. The point of that link was to show that there apparently was an issue with loading mplayer too early...or something like that. In any case, I have no idea if that is the same problem you're having, but it resulted in the same error message.

It's possible that your file is corrupted. Did you check the md5sum?
gmplayer is a symlink to mplayer, which is why it's so tiny. mplayer was built to check whether or not it's started as "mplayer" or "gmplayer" to decide if it needs to load the graphical interface.

md5sum is the program.
You can use the -c option to check against that list.

The md5sum is correct.

well, a google search came up with a little bit of info, although it seems "illegal instruction" is about as easy to debug as "segmentation fault".

It could be faulty hardware, bad ram, etc.
It could be that your processor is not pentium. If that's the case you're out of luck with this particular extension, as it was apparently compiled specifically for pentium. Have you tried the uci or tar.gz version of mplayer? The tar.gz requires xfree, but i'm not sure about the uci...it's friggin 31mb, so I would hope it has everything you need.
