Interesting.
What distribution did the .src.rpm come from?
What tuning did you do?
Was the .src.rpm for pre10?

I hate those kind of religious arguments. I deal in facts.
RPM is just plain better!!! :-)

No I have not tried to install a pre-built .rpm.
Since it came out of the Mandrake "contribs" directory, I did not
feel good about using the pre-compiled .rpm. Also, because all the
Mandrake pre-compiled stuff is for i586 and I wanted to compile specifically
for a Athlon-mp. And if there was any multithreaded stuff in Mplayer
I wanted to compile it on my SMP system. Since you got good results
from .rpm from .src.rpm and bad (but runnable) results from .rpm,
I think I should stay on my path, no?
:: Finally, what previous releases have you tried compiling?
None. I'm a complete green-behind-the-ears newbie to Mplayer.
I've tried to read everything I could as per the author's rather
pointed, oft-repeated instructions, but so far they have not
helped me. I'm sure I'm missing something. Or maybe, like
someone suggested, gcc 3.2 is buggy (vis-a-vis Mplayer) or
(GASP!!) there's a bug in the Mplayer code.
Still waiting for the wizards to chime in. Should I go ahead
and submit a formal Bug Report? Will that get someone's attention
or will I just get flamed. (From the many past posts I've read,
trying to solve this problem, I gether that this is a low-tolerance
mailing list. Lot's of people get flamed, called "fool", &c.)
