mplayer issues (libglut)

So you think that you have installed mplayer....

which mplayer
/usr/bin/mplayer

... but when you fire it up you get an err like this

mplayer: error while loading shared libraries: libglut.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

All you have to do is install another package. A missing dependency, perhaps?

yum search glut
