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 Greetings Dimitris Ioannou ____________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? &Agr;&pgr;&ogr;&kgr;&tgr;&eeacgr;&sgr;&tgr;&egr; &tgr;&eegr; &dgr;&ohgr;&rgr;&egr;&aacgr;&ngr; @yahoo.gr &dgr;&igr;&egr;&uacgr;&thgr;&ugr;&ngr;&sgr;&eegr; &sgr;&agr;&sfgr; &sgr;&tgr;&ogr; http://www.otenet.gr
