make -C libvo

does anybody have any ideas? thanks!

You may have to specify non-standard library locations on the command line:
./configure --enable-gui --libdir=/usr/lib64 --with-x11libdir=/usr/X11R6/lib64

If all else fails, but you don't necessarily need fbdev support, you can leave it out; there ought to be a switch like --without-fbdev (check ./configure --help to see all switches)

i tired both, im still getting the same error when i 'make' i tried --disable-fbdev but im still getting the same error, i guess i'll fidget with the swiches a bit more, anyother ideas?

Well, given the filenames it looks like the problem is not with mplayer but with the system headers... So I think best bet is to make sure your system is up-to-date (in SuSE that's quite easy I think) or else file a bug report with SuSE...

good luck anyway!

what is that i need to make sure is up to date, is it something inpaticular? or just overall, make sure i have new stuff?

Best to use the SuSE online update tool (YOU) and look for any newer-version packages that have to do with gcc (the compiler), or with the 'development' category in general -- 'cos the /usr/include/asm-<arch> directories are mainly used by the compiler and linker, so (hopefully) upgrading that may upgrade those files.

Hope you get it working -- when I first compiled mplayer it ran about twice as fast as the precompiled package so it's worth the trouble...

thanks, i'll do that, i move in to school tommarow but i'll get to it, and thanks for you help.

Try CVS version. There's been some developement going on regarding 64bit support lately.
