mplayer and ascii
 
I am trying to run mplayer and watch the output in ascii in a console. However, I keep getting the following error, anyone have any ideas? I just upgraded mplayer to the newest version and I am not sure what this error is trying to say. I can play the exact same files with out the -vo aa option. Thanks for the help

as the error is saying nothing about using aa at all, i'd assume you've not got aalib installed, or did not compile mplayer with aalib linked in. "mplayer -vo help" to list the available outputs

Ok you were right, I now have compiled and got aalib working. However, I am still getting the same error, how do I link mplayer with the aalib stuff so it can use it?? Thanks
