Hi all
I am running Debian 2.4.18 kernel and downloaded MPlayer and wanted to install it, so i tar-ed it, i went in the directory and ran:
./configure

everything went nice and smooth, then te 'make' command part... it gives some strange errors and i don't know what's wrong
here the process log (i'm root off course ):

Error 1 and 2 is obvious the problem
Maybe some of you people could help me?

That might be a real tricky one you have there.
Because segmentation faults don't just occur...

either, you have hardware problems,
or your compiler is broken.

There could of course be other reasons but
this is what I think....

//ooop

why run ./configure and make as root? They should both be run as the user.

looks nasty....I would try downloading the tarball again,
and if the same thing happens, try using something else,
like xine

Read the install file and see if ./configure needs options like

./configure --blah-blah

i really wouldn't bother with a homebrew when there are plenty of unoffical debs available

http://tonelli.sns.it/pub/mplayer/sarge/

Everybody thanks

And wat Matt Collier said worked well

but could it be a possible hardware problem that all the compiling fails? (each time i have to 'make' something, it fails )

for a while now, MPlayer has been Debian-friendly, but licensing issues have kept it out of the repository.

if a tarball has a ./debian directory, look for a debian/rules file, if it's present, run

fakeroot debian/rules binary

this should build a .deb, which can then be installed (and then managed by dpkg) with

dpkg -i ../mplayer_<ver>_<arch>.deb

if it doesn't build that way, then you probably do have a problem, though a hardware fault is unlikely since compiling isn't really hardware-relient

Compiling is extremely hardware intensive.
Compiling a anything relatively complex can be a great hardware stress test, especially the kernel.

Segmentation faults are definitely something to be wary of. I would re-install your development packages, (gcc, make, autoconf, glibc etc...) and see if you can get make to work. Try different packages. Your binary may simply be broken or corrupted.
If you still get these sorts of errors, I'd suspect your memory or your harddrive are failing, or your CPU is overheating. All these things are common causes for seg faults. Run memtest86 (there are many boot floppies/cds which include this utility).

Just because you got mplayer installed doesn't mean the problem is over. This is definitely one that I'd want to chase down and nip... Finding the source is important if this is a hardware issue -- you can lose data, or even melt your processor, fry your motherboard, etc....

--Shade

Hmzz, sounds f*cked...
Maybe it is hardware yeah, because when i use 2 slots of memory (64 MB en 32 MB) my system won't even boot, even can't install the system, when i use 1 memory slot it works perfectly, strange...
Makbe i should get a new motherboard or something...
