compiling mplayer

i'm trying to compile mplayer in man 9.1. I think i have all the right libs. I get two errors after the make stage tho and i have no idea what they mean.

make[1]: *** [libdha.so.0.1] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/mnt/win_c/My Received Files/Mandrake/MPlayer-0.92/l ibdha'
make: *** [libdha/libdha.so] Error 2

If someone could explain a) what they mean and b) how i am supposed to know that i'd be very grateful.

Did

make

again but as root and it worked fine. Hopefull some poor soul will stumble across this one day and say...

"thank god i'm not the only idiot round here..."

Here's my guess:
The partition you are trying to build in doesn't maintain proper permissions. If you were to move and untar the mplayer tarball to a Linux filesystem/directory then my thought is it would work properly

Cool

that's prolly good advice...didn't know that was an important thing!

Also, when i try to do:

./configure --enable-gui

i get gtk not found but i'm sure i have it!

You might not have it installed, or you might now have the -devel version necessary (the headers) that it looks for. You can [usually] point it to the location of the missing file(s) with something like:
./configure --enable-gui --enable-gtk=/usr/local/whatever
OR, you might just have gtk2, check the configure options to see if you need to specify which gtk to use:
./configure --help

Cool
