I've tried many times to install the mplayer rpm that
I d/l from the web (actually, I tried several
versions) but it seems impossible. It installs itself
but I can never get it to work. The latest incident
was this that I'm describing below. (That was when I
tried to install a tarball). After running
./configure, when I got to the second step "make" the
message I got in the console was this...." We are not
and we will not going to support gcc 2.96...
Mplayer Team...."
I started laughing when I saw this and after that I
never tried to install it again since I know 2.96 is
the compiler of choice for Mandrake (this actually
means that it's not going to work properly on a
Mandrake system isn't it? Correct me if I'm wrong).
Any hints would be greatly appreciated Sridhar
