Nah, and since you are getting errors, it might help if you didn't. It just helps you to be to not have to wait until each command is done, once the process is done, it will simply return a prompt and everything is installed.

But with the errors, it's nice to know at which step you are getting the errors: the configure, make or make install part.

So no, no you don't. Go ahead and do them seperately.

I think it is everywhere in ./configure, make and make install

./configure: line 3670: syntax error near unexpected token `(s'
./configure: line 3670: ` --without-PACKAGE do not use PACKAGE (same as --with-PACKAGE=no)'

Well I think I should download the other version...

That's what I kept getting. That's when I got the bleeding edge version.

Cool

Hey MasterC! I saw that you had your video card connected to the TV so I thought maybe you can help me so that I could connect mine too? I just want to watch movies over my TV! So I thought that maybe you can link me to a manual or something This is the last step to my Linuxification and then I might consider deleting Winbloze Ooh, the last time I asked this question you linked me to a manual on he MPlayer website and it didn't work for me either Well, thanks in advance!

Oh, really? That's the only way I can do it. Here is how:

I have to have my Svid (or composite - yellow) cable plugged from the Video Out on the card, to the TV plugged in on boot up. This (from what I understand) initializes the VESA graphics. You may have problems viewing anything after that, and might not get anything showing up on either your monitor or the TV. I don't. So then I wait until everything is done starting up, I can actually hear my HD cranking and churning. It's roughly 30 seconds til Login prompt. Then I login as root. I type:
mplayer -vo vesa /mnt/vids/movie.avi

And BAM, up comes the video on both the monitor and the TV. If I quit the movie, or once it's over, I can no longer see anything again. No X, nothing. I then have to reboot:
reboot
And unplug the Svid from the back of the TV. This makes it so VESA isn't initialized during bootup, and I can see things just fine on my monitor. Everything is back to normal.

Cool

Thanks MasterC!(I think I said this for a hundred times by now ) If you'll ever learn how to make a normal video out could you please notify me I'll do the same for you Thanks!
