[MPlayer-users] Problems installing/running mplayer

[Arne Dueselder]

Hi,
i have two problems with mplayer 0.50 on my debian 2.4.10 kernel.
If i try to compile mplayer with the --enable-gui option, he configures fine, 
but during make the following error occurs:

gcc -c -O4 -march=pentiumpro -mcpu=pentiumpro -pipe -ffast-math 
-fomit-frame-pointer -fomit-frame-pointer -fexpensive-optimizations 
-fschedule-insns2 -Wall -malign-double -I. -I./event -I./wm -I./skin 
-I/usr/include/gtk-1.2 -I/usr/include/glib-1.2 -I/usr/lib/glib/include 
-I/usr/local/include -I/usr/include/gtk-1.2 -I/usr/include/glib-1.2 
-I/usr/lib/glib/include -DDEBUG  -o bitmap/png/png.o bitmap/png/png.c
bitmap/png/png.c:6: png.h: No such file or directory
bitmap/png/png.c:20: parse error before `*'
bitmap/png/png.c: In function `pngLoadRawF':
bitmap/png/png.c:23: `png_structp' undeclared (first use in this function)
bitmap/png/png.c:23: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
bitmap/png/png.c:23: for each function it appears in.)
bitmap/png/png.c:23: parse error before `png'
...

I looked into png.c to find a #include <png.h>, however, i don't have a 
global png.h, the other one in the same dir is already included by 
#include "./png.h"
What is wrong here, and what can i do?

Well, on the other hand, if i compile it without gui option, everythings 
installs just fine. But if i want to start mplayer, i see this:

MPlayer 0.50  (C) 2000-2001 Arpad Gereoffy (see DOCS!)
 
Reading /home/arne/.mplayer/codecs.conf: parse error at line 1
Reading /usr/local/share/mplayer/codecs.conf: parse error at line 2
(copy/ln etc/codecs.conf (from MPlayer source tree) to ~/.mplayer/codecs.conf)
Beendet

Well, what now? It's already the original codecs.conf from the cvs tree, and 
the newest one. I don't know what to do with this.
Any suggestions?
