[MPlayer-users] fc5 install problems

[Brian Jones]

I've been working on this all day and cant seem to get it working...  I reinstalled Fedora Core 5 (after the upgrade from FC4 to FC5 screwed many things up) ... I grabbed the mplayer1.0pre7try2 from the website and following these instructios http://www.mjmwired.net/resources/mplayer-fedora.html tried to install it.  (and installed the xorg-x11-proto-devel .. since Xfree86 & xorg-x11-libs dont seem to be availiable for fc5)  But every time I do the only video output drives I get are Video output: cvidix vesa md5sum pnm  mpegpes(dvb)  tga
looking in my configure log file I find: 

============ Checking for X11 headers presence ============
Result is: yes (using /usr/include)

============ Checking for X11 libs presence ============
Result is: yes (using /usr/lib)

int main(void) { (void) XCreateWindow(0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0); return 0; }

gcc32     /tmp/mplayer-conf-17644-6327.c -o /tmp/mplayer-conf-11050-6327.o -L/usr/lib -lXext -lX11 -lnsl
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lXext

ldd /tmp/mplayer-conf-11050-6327.o
ldd: /tmp/mplayer-conf-11050-6327.o: No such file or directory

I'm at a loss.  Any help would be greatly apperciated!
