victorsk Posted February 3, 2006 Report Share Posted February 3, 2006 Hello, I've been trying to install Mplayer but I keep getting this error message: Checking for cc version ... 4.0.1, bad Checking for gcc version ... 4.0.1, bad Checking for gcc-3.4 version ... not found Checking for gcc-3.3 version ... not found Checking for gcc-3.2 version ... not found Checking for gcc-3.1 version ... not found Checking for gcc3 version ... not found Checking for gcc-3.0 version ... not found Checking for cc version ... 4.0.1, bad *** Please downgrade/upgrade C compiler to version gcc-2.95.x or gcc-3.x! *** I tried to issue this command (since gcc-3.x should be ok) ./configure --enable-gui --enable-largefiles --enable-menu --prefix=/usr --confdir=/etc/mplayer --cc=gcc32 But I keep getting the same error. Would somebody please kindly tell me how I can downgrade to gcc3.2 if I must or if there is a ./configure command switch that can disable gcc version checking. Will very much appreciate your help. Thank you, victor. [moved from Software by spinynorman] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devries Posted February 3, 2006 Report Share Posted February 3, 2006 You need to install a gcc version lower then 4.0.1 (try 3.4) and run ./configure CC=gcc3.4 (check the name gcc3.4. It needs to be exact. If for example you have 3.4.1 you need to put gcc3.4.1) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyme Posted February 3, 2006 Report Share Posted February 3, 2006 another option is to just install the mplayer rpm from the mandriva sources. Use the easy-urpmi link at the top of the page to set up repo's, then install it with: urpmi mplayer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
victorsk Posted February 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2006 Hi, Thank you very much for the advice. I did as you suggested but when I ran 'make' I got this error: Configuring in gcc configure: loading cache ./config.cache configure: error: `build_alias' has changed since the previous run: configure: former value: i686-pc-linux-gnu configure: current value: cc=gcc3.4 configure: error: `host_alias' has changed since the previous run: configure: former value: i686-pc-linux-gnu configure: current value: cc=gcc3.4 configure: error: `target_alias' has changed since the previous run: configure: former value: i686-pc-linux-gnu configure: current value: cc=gcc3.4 configure: error: changes in the environment can compromise the build configure: error: run `make distclean' and/or `rm ./config.cache' and start over make: *** [configure-gcc] Error 1 I tried 'make distclean' and 'rm ./config.cache' and started over again but same problem happened. Any ideas what could go wrong? Thank you, Victor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Use the easy-urpmi link at the top of the page to set up repo's, then install it with: urpmi mplayer <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Hi, I tried this option and got 'mplayer' installed, but now I can't find mplayer/plugins directory so I can link the mplayerplug_in.so with the firefox's plugins. Any ideas where I could find the mplayerplugin? I ran the file finder but it didn't look like it found it and all the directories for mplayer that I installed through urpmi didn't seem to have 'plugins' directory. Would be great to get some feedback please. Thanks, Victor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
