It is best to leave the default compiler set to that with which the
kernel was compiled which in 8.2 was gcc-2.9.6
the mplayer build problem has been discussed numerous times.
The aversion it has for 2.9.6 is because of RH using a pre 2.96 and
calling it 2.9.6.
This is not the case with mandrake so the --disable-gcc-checking option
can be used without problem.
Should you still prefer to do the build with gcc3.0 then;
Open a terminal that you can set aside to be used for building with
gcc3.0
su to root and enter # export CC=gcc-3.0.4
>From that point, unless you install a new kernel any program built from
That terminal will use gcc3.0
