*** Please downgrade/upgrade C compiler to version gcc-2.95.x or gcc-3.x! ***

You are not using a supported compiler. We do not have the time to make sure
everything works with compilers other than the ones we use. Use either the
same compiler as we do, or use --disable-gcc-checking but DO *NOT* REPORT BUGS
unless you can reproduce them after recompiling with a 2.95.x or 3.x version!

gcc -v

tried configuring from with --disable-gcc-checking, but it failed...
any tips or tricks without downgrading/reinstalling gcc?
I'll download the binary/rpm version if there's no hope...
thx

maybe try MPlayer-1.0pre7try2 and the cvs version

shot in the dark: I think I have seen that you can have 2 version of gcc coexisting (do not ask me how)
you may then want alias gccv3 to gcc (or vice versa, or something like that)

allright ,I'll get another package,
since your last alternative was a bit risky

, but it worth a try
thx man.....

If the compiling doesn't work you could download the RPM from packman:
http://packman.links2linux.org/?action=128

But hopefully you get your gcc working

had the same problem, but with an AMD64
tried the compiling. it's not the end of the road.
there's a lot of missing libraries that mplayer won't start without.
tired the RPM route, but there's even more dependency loops (the most annoying being ldap)
just might have to dual-boot with an older suse or mandriva just to be able to use mplayer

if you have any luck, pls holler

yeah, same too saaskwash.....mine Intel32
building from rpm asks to find other rpms too

(lot of dependencies)
I'm trying to resolve those.....
