The MPlayer included with 8.1 does not support all the formats is is capable
of (eg it won't play wmv in 8.1, yet I had it playing them in 8.0 with the
version I compiled from source)... so I decided to compile and install the
latest version instead. Runninginto a problem I haven't been able to solve
yet... I am hoping one of you might know where things are going wrong.
When you configure the source for MPlayer with the --enable-gui option, you
need to have libpng and libpng-devel installed. I knew this and have made
sure they are installed.
--------------------------
rpm -q libpng
libpng-1.2.4-31
rpm -q libpng-devel
libpng-devel-1.2.4-31
---------------------------
Problem is, during the configure step it complains that PNG support is not
available. I have checked into the configure.log file and this seems to be
the relevant section:
============ Checking for PNG support ============

There's the culprit :) See that the packages libz and possibly libz-devel (can't check at the moment) is/are installed. Philipp -- Philipp Thomas work: pthomas@suse.de Development SuSE Linux AG private: pth@t-link.de
Thanks. I kept getting lost with the parse errors and skipped right over that part each of the 150 times I read through this bit of the log file. Added libz and a few other devel libs I found and whiz-bang everything works like I wanted it to. C. On Tuesday 15 October 2002 00:15, Philipp Thomas wrote:
