That wasn't my experience. mplayer build on both of my RH9 systems
without a single problem.
I was attempting build just about every codec as mentioned in the documentation and Mandrake has a lot more of the dependent libraries as opposed to Redhat.

That's not really true. You still get tons of text editors (11 in my
