well I'm having problems installing it. I keep getting gcc error I need to update it so how do I update the gcc?
Actually I got the latest GCC 3.3.2. Now I'm having a problem installing GCC into the comp.
something is wrong with your codecs (not installed, etc). make sure you install the w32codec rpm. otherwise, make sure your vid card is also installed correctly
What distro and vid card do you have? i had a problem similar to that with xine using red hat on my radeon 9700pro for awhile till i switched to slack and it worked perfectly.
cant say i know a lot about mandrake, just that its similar to red hat as far as being system V. No advice there, just usually when you get only sound out of a video, its a codec issue. Have you done searches on this elsewhere?
beejay - Mandrake can use terminal URPMI commands to snatch updates, codecs, etcetera for programs and applications. I snagged my copy of mplayer with skins and codecs just by punching in various URPMI commands. Perhaps you could give that a shot and see if you can get some codexs for your player.
