ok, i figured it out myself. i double checked my environment, and found that the LC_CTYPE was set the "en_US.UTF8". but i do not understand why it compiles my 'mplayer' to display chinese. after i changed the LC_CTYPE value to "en_US" and recompile 'mplayer', the output info becomes english, and the man page is back. -- Best Regards, David Shen http://twitter.com/davidshen84/
