MPlayer on SuSE 9.1 ?

Hello all. I've just installed SuSE 9.1 and I made a try to compilie MPlayer. The returned error was:

Code:
Error: The GUI requires GTK devel packages (which were not found).
I've installed the GTK-devel package (with all deps) from YaST2 but there is still the same problem... any ideas how to fix this?

Hi shdhnd,
try configuring mplayer with this option:
Code:
--with-gtk-config=PATH
Where PATH is the path to gtk*-config (e.g. /opt/bin/gtk-config).

Good luck, hope I helped,

I got the parameter by calling ./configure --help. You can use this command to get help configuring the source. In this case you might want to add | grep gtk to the command to filter the output for any mention of "gtk".

To make work mplayer in SuSE 9.1 tray this:

./configure --enable-gui --with-gtk-config=/opt/gnome/bin/gtk-config --with-glib-config=/opt/gnome/bin/glib-config

Easiest way I got Mplayer to work on 9.1 was grabing the RPM's from Packman's site.

Running configure
--enable-gui

fails with message
Error: The GUI requires GTK devel packages (which were not found).

Running
--with-gtk-config=/opt/gnome/bin/gtk-config
also fails as gtk-config is not at this location.

gtk is according to YaST loaded but I cannot find the expected file gtk-config

Installed glib-devel and gtk-devel, in that order, and after that the configuration worked. These packages did not seem to be installed even though I ticked all the boxes in the SUSE 9.1 YaST installation. I got them from http://www.rpmseek.com/index.html?hl=com
