I'm not sure actually. i downloaded the RPM from www.rpmfind.net i decided to go about this a different way and compile a tarball i had to download gcc 3.0 and cpp 3.0 (mplayer demands you have gcc 3) to get ./configure to run for me and i get this error when using ./configure for MPlayer-0.18pre5 root@charter MPlayer-0.18pre5]# ./configure You can get detailed help on configure with: ./configure --help Please wait while ./configure discovers your software and hardware environment! Checking version of gcc ... 3.0, ok Your gcc does not support even "i386" for '-march' and '-mcpu'. i cannot find a piece of information about this error anywhere on the net. you guys have any clue?
