Description:
When executing mplayer i get following error:
mplayer: error while loading shared libraries: libx264.so.57: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Upgrading x264 from x264-20070616-1 to x264-20071202-1 solved my problem.

versions:
x264-20071202-1
mplayer 1.0rc2-3

Cheers,

I assume the "bug" here is some >= version compare in the deps list?

^Yes thats the problem right there.
BUT Mplayer in extra is 1.0rc2-3 and its built against x264 20071202-1. It works perfectly fine here. How exactly have you "upgraded to the newer x264 version" and why wasnt this done before with a mere -Syu but you had to do it yourself? I guess there is something bogus regarding your installation/configuration.

I can't do pacman -Suy since i have only 260 megs of free space and upgrade would require 412 megs of downloads (this is old 3 gig drive set up to replace 20 gig drive which is not working atm).

For upgrading process i needed codecs to play some wmv file so i did: "pacman -S mplayer codecs". It went fine, both download then install. Then i tried to play it and got abovementioned error. I did "pacman -S x264" and it worked.

Then its only an issue for you. Users are expected to update their packages regularly.
