It will tell You, if You don't have all the neccessary libraries.
Yup. Here's the error: Error: PNG support required for GUI compilation, please install libpng or libpng-dev packages. Now, I have libpng & libpng-devel installed. Does it matter that I have version 2.1? as opposed to 1.x? [09:23:13] bjackson@omnipitus:/tmp/MPlayer-0.90pre8 > rpm -qa|grep libpng libpng-2.1.0.12-120 libpng-devel-2.1.0.12-120 Is libpng-dev (what MPlayer is looking for) different than libpng-devel? I'll poke around on the MPlayer page as well. BTW, Suse 8.0 thanks in advance, brian -- Brian Jackson Photography Action Athletics http://www.brianjacksonphoto.com "Excellence in Sports Imagery" 650-218-5082 http://www.actionathletics.com
