Hello,<br><br>I have ubuntu 7.04 install on my system (CPU core duo 6300)<br><br>Now I want to play DVD with mplayer, which is preinstalled. However, the image was totally unviewable - only mosaic-like blocks. Anyway, it might be the codec. I just feel like re-installing the mplayer. So I removed the existing one and started downloading and installing a latest one.
<br><br>Problem is, the very first step, configuration failed when I run ./configure <br><br>this is the first problematic part in the configure.log:<br><br>cc -o /tmp/mplayer-conf--16148 /tmp/mplayer-conf--16148.c<br>
/tmp/mplayer-conf--16148.c:1:20: error: signal.h: No such file or directory<br>/tmp/mplayer-conf--16148.c: In function 'catch':<br>/tmp/mplayer-conf--16148.c:2: warning: incompatible implicit declaration of built-in function 'exit'

<br>/tmp/mplayer-conf--16148.c:4: error: for each function it appears in.)<br><br><br>Result is: failed<br><br><br>I googled a while and some people say that it's might be that mplayer doesn't support my CPU's type. Mplayer works fine in my previous single-core CPU computer. I don't know how well Linux & software for Linux support the dual-core CPU.
<br><br>Anyway, two questions:<br><br>1. Why doesn't the pre-installed mplayer work? ( I tried -vo xv and -vo x11 )<br>2. Why couldn't I compile the source?<br><br>Thank you,<br>Hai<br><br>
