Hi Just do "./configure --enable-gui". It will tell You, if You don't have all the neccessary libraries. And in konqueror, assosiate the file extension with to gmplayer, and also set it to "open to a separate program" (select the "display" tab on the same screen where You assosiate file-extensions). Then You can do a "normal" single-click, and it will open a new window for gmplayer, and plays the file. (yes, graphical mplayer is gmplayer). Jaska. On Sunday 06 October 2002 12:09, wolfi wrote:

I've done this on my 8.0 system.

First, I compiled Mplayer with the GUI (--enable-gui option). This makes it easier to use in KDE if you are trying to click on media files in a file manager. (...)

This sound good! Where do you put this --enable-gui option? in ./configure ??

OK, already tried that, and here it comes again .... It complains about the missing 'png' library, but png is definitely installed. Has someone experienced this ?? I guess this must be something with paths to libs and so *grr* I hate that crap.

Since you are compiling, maybe it isn't the png it needs but the devel pkg for png. -- Joe & Sesil Morris New Tribes Mission Email Address: Joe_Morris@ntm.org Web Address: http://www.mydestiny.net/~joe_morris Registered Linux user 231871 God said, I AM that I AM.

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?

I'll poke around on the MPlayer page as well.
