Ok i downloaded it to my pc then i did
./configure
then
make
then
make install
and it didnt take did i do something wrong i am running red hat with a gcc of 2.96 and in order to install the MPlayer i need either gcc-2.95.x or gcc-3.x i really think that this may be the reason why i cant seem to get some of these programs to run. Like I tried the XIME movie player and it didnt take either. So can you guys help me out or point me to a .RPM file i could use to fix this problem.
i'd recommend using an rpm install to have both versions of gcc on your system (assuming you're using redhat or something) then you'd specify the configure as
./configure --cc=gcc-3.0.3
i've not installed gcc from source before, so i'm not sure what executables it would create, you may well already have gcc-3.0.3 or something, i'm not sure. try some "locate gcc"'s and such like to track it down

well i do have RH7.2 but when i did the mplayer install it said i had GCC 2.7 i think its some version it did not support so it said upgrade to 3.0 or downgrade to 2.6 I will try to find a rpm of this thou thanks

well, you'll have 2.96, so you should use 3+ or 2.95. you can force it to use 2.96 with ./configure --disable-gcc or somethign similar (use ./configure --help for options)

I did get the 2.95 rpm and it gave me this weird error.
<placepkgs /home/angomeka/gcc-2.95.3-0.20000503.1.i386.rpm;echo RESULT=$?
error: failed dependencies:
cpp = 2.95.3 is needed by gcc-2.95.3-0.20000503.1
gcc = 2.96-98 is needed by gcc-g77-2.96-98
gcc = 2.96-98 is needed by gcc-objc-2.96-98
gcc = 2.96-98 is needed by gcc-c++-2.96-98
RESULT=1
now i tried to upgrade and thats what i got. When i tried to replace this is what i got.
error: failed dependencies:
cpp = 2.95.3 is needed by gcc-2.95.3-0.20000503.1
RESULT=1
what did i do wrong all i did was double click on the icon and give it my shell password. lol
