i am facing problems with mplayer compiled in gcc 2.96 ... it is damn
slow on an RHL 7.3 box ( PIII 700, 64 MB RAM) running gnome.
on my home box with debian woody 3.0 (gcc 2.95) mplayer compiled fine
and with a few teaks in the ./configure i managed to even play movies
and stuff. but the movies run really slow. the home box is a cyrix PR
233, 96 MB RAM system running kde

thanx for the solution, but mplayer only says that 2.96 is "not
recommended", not that it "won't compile". It also says that with 2.96
it'll just run a little slow and might give some problems.
Let's face it, mplayer configuration is a bit tough but then it's free
software - you use it if u like it or use something else.
