Hi again guys

I've got the above problem - Mplayer crashes on my FC6 system when trying to play an MP3 file. I have compiled the following libraries ass regards MP3 / sound support:

-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 1516235 May 5 2006 flac-1.1.2.tar.gz
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 1255629 May 5 2006 lame-3.96.1.tar.gz
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 387583 May 5 2006 libao-0.8.6.tar.gz
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 338143 May 5 2006 libid3tag-0.15.1b.tar.gz
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 502379 May 5 2006 libmad-0.15.1b.tar.gz
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 419959 May 5 2006 libogg-1.1.2.tar.gz
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 1911650 May 5 2006 libtheora-1.0alpha5.tar.gz
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 1307726 May 5 2006 libvorbis-1.1.1.tar.gz

Here's the messsage from MPlayer:

MPlayer interrupted by signal 11 in module: init_audio_codec
- MPlayer crashed by bad usage of CPU/FPU/RAM.
Recompile MPlayer with --enable-debug and make a 'gdb' backtrace and
disassembly. Details in DOCS/HTML/en/bugreports_what.html#bugreports_crash.
- MPlayer crashed. This shouldn't happen.
It can be a bug in the MPlayer code _or_ in your drivers _or_ in your
gcc version. If you think it's MPlayer's fault, please read
DOCS/HTML/en/bugreports.html and follow the instructions there. We can't and
won't help unless you provide this information when reporting a possible bug.

Clearly, it crashes when trying to open mp3lib (lame?) Any ideas how to fix this?

Thanks!

"compiled"?? You didn't install them via yum? Did you compile mplayer too? (www.mjmwired.net)

flac-1.1.2.tar.gz
lame-3.96.1.tar.gz
libao-0.8.6.tar.gz
libid3tag-0.15.1b.tar.gz
libmad-0.15.1b.tar.gz
libogg-1.1.2.tar.gz
libtheora-1.0alpha5.tar.gz
libvorbis-1.1.1.tar.gz

... yup - all compiled from source. I see lame here for mp3's. But note:...from http://www.mjmwired.net/resources/mplayer-fedora.html - Probably you should read through this to see what you did differently.

It may be that you have just stuck things someplace that mplayer dosn't expect them. Did the ./configure step detect all the codecs and libs?

Oh - and mjm routinely disables SELinux - if you do not, this may be an issue.

Of course, this assumes you compiled mplayer as well. If you installed mplayer via yum, then you should yum install the support libs and codecs as well.

Hi Simon

I managed to fix this. It was because I was attempting to compile Mplayer with GCC-4 (I think - the version that comes with FC6) and not GCC-3.4. I switched Mplayer's compile over to GCC-3.4 and it now seems to be working fine.

Thanks for the help, anyway!
