While Slimserver and AlienBBC seems to have installed on a Linkstation
now reflashed and running Debian 3.1, try as I might I can't get
Mplayer to work (which is why I think the BBC streams are silent).  

I built Mplayer from downloaded source (1.0pre8).  It is one source
file (bz2).  Did not download any separate codec file.  All seemed to
work on the compile using just ./configure with no options.  Loads of
warnings during the Make and Make Install seemed to work.

Only thing was that typing mplayer said "Command not found" but whereis
showed it but not in usr/bin.  So I copied mplayer from usr/local/bin to
usr/bin and it then worked. 

But if I try to play a rtsp stream on the Linkstation from command
prompt it starts and then exits almost straight away.

On the Slimserver AlienBBC finds the stream and then immediately stops.
Log from Slimserver also attached.

I really don't know what to do now.  Should I have moved anything else
from the installation directory where the sources were compiled?  That
directory is not in my $PATH and not in the Slimserver directory.   Do
I use a different means to get Mplayer (i.e. as a package as I've used
APT-GET for most other things).  Do I rebuild mplayer again but
differently?

Note everything else works on the Slimserver and can play other
Internet Radio streams.  The file types for RTSP show two of the three
options ticked - not MP3 as I guess I don't have the LAME decoder.  

Suggestions really appreciated.  I've spent all day on this and don't
know where to go with this now.
