it is a pain in the neck for people who need to be spoon fed. I was giving a answer to a person who was having a difficulty compilling mplayer. I didnt discuss the merits or demerits of the solution. I would suggest you look up what those two options actually do. The second option is what will help you compile using gcc 2.96. The first option is for ease of managing applications. If you compile the way I have suggested you wont have to worry about removing mplayer in the future. A rm -rf /usr/local/mplayer will do that for you. If you dont give a prefix mplayer will be dumped all over /usr/local/bin /usr/local/man and /usr/local/share I am sure someone has suggested that is the best place to hunt for all the files if you ever wanted to remove mplayer. > neck for me to run a VCD, I just installed gcc 3.someting & it works > like > magic now. I would suggest you use amritanjan for your neck and type in ln -s /usr/local/mplayer/bin/mplayer /usr/local/bin/mplayer Your nice upgrade to gcc 3.x might have some interesting complications for you if you end up using a shared library compiled with gcc 2.96 which is like each and every binary on your RedHat installation ?? > It is clearly given in the README either to upgrade to gcc 3 or > downgrade to > 2.95, do either of the two, Mplayer will be terrific. If you stay subscribed to the mailling list a bit longer you will find out that no one has ever faced a problem using mplayer compiled with gcc 2.96 even though mplayer says it is not recommended.
