[MPlayer-users] MPlayer won't make

[Andrew Conkling]

I can't get MPlayer to install. I'm trying to follow instructions on how
to compile it from source
(http://www.mandrakeusers.org/viewtopic.php?t=2644)--a process I
generally understand--but I'm getting the following error when I run
make (I'm printing the output from checkinstall, but the errors are
reprinted from make):

Problem is, I have all the dependencies he asked for, and a few more. As
the problem seems to me to be something GIF-related, here are my GIF rpms: 

giftrans-1.12.2-12mdk 
libungif4-4.1.0-19mdk 
libungif4-devel-4.1.0-19mdk

What the deuce?

Thanks,
Andrew
