I got the same error. The code fix recommended worked. Thanks!

I am also using Mandrake 10. I tried the rpm originally and at run-time got some weird messages including that my computer was too slow and to recompile with a particular flag. It's an 800Mhz which i know isn't fast, but don't think it should be "too slow".

I decided to recompile and that's when my problems started.

I made the change and it works good now... though no audio. I'm sure i'll figure that one out shortly.

Thanks,

Ok, I'm a programmer...so what gives? This doesn't seem all that complicated - why does gcc 3.3.2 have a problem here?

The code fix worked for me as well - thank you kindly.

if you keep getting errors, there has to be a mandy rpm for mplayer and its dependencies.

rpms are nice, but the code fix worked fine - I just want to know why gcc 3.3.2 doesn't like this.

I'm using Mandrake 10.0 but only because I'm too lazy to run something like Slackware on my main machine.

In my case, I'm recompiling MPlayer both to improve efficiency, and to fix some shortcomings in the RPMed version. (Mainly the fact that it won't play audio from Matroska video files if it's encoded in AC3 format.)

just trying it now.

Re: Solution... without new package

Top stuff! This workaround was good for me running SuSE 9.0 Professional with GCC 3.3.1.

Nice one, Anarchofascist! ;)

Rik.

Code fix works great for me. :) It's weird the programmers of MPlayer haven't found this out yet.
Anyway, thanks a lot!

The problem isn't with the MPlayer code - it's a gcc bug (which has been fixed now, because 3.4.2 compiled MPlayer no problem).

Than it is weird that I don't get any updates for gcc with Mandrake 10.0. Guess I'll have to do it manually.
