Hi pluggies!
I've recently installed SuSE 9.2 on my system.
I tried to install my modem drivers and it gave some errors. Probably
it's because the modem drivers were not built for kernel 2.6.x
But then I tried to install mplayer 0.91 using the usual commands as:
./configure
make
make install
It failed at "make" giving some errors.
I downloaded the latest mplayer sources: MPlayer-1.0pre5.tar.bz2
This time too it failed. These are the errors that I got:
<snip: the normal make messages>

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
I've made sure I've installed kernel sources. Only thing is that while
installation, I deselected the default kernel selection (default was
smp kernel, because of P4 HT), and selected the non-smp kernel. I have
also disabled HT from BIOS (my modem's drivers refuse to work with smp
kernels :-( )
Another question: Why did YaST (the SuSE installer) select an smp
kernel by default despite HT being disabled? Neither did it detect 2
CPU (cpu 0 and cpu 1). Then why smp kernel?
Please tell me if I'm doing something wrong, or if my assumption about
HT and smp relation is wrong; and kindly help me out, cos suSE 9.2
seems a really nice distro, and I sure do want to continue with it.
Regards,
Kapil
