what makes me angry the the way somebody is talking to (yelling at) me.
if my english is not good enough to to make my intention clear, shouting
or an army-like tone are not part of a solution either.

mplayer: /usr/local/bin/mplayer /usr/local/etc/mplayer
/usr/local/lib/mplayer
the last two are directories

/usr/local/bin/mplayer
the executable in this directory an the one in the build directory have
a different size (~400k) and a slightly different time (~1min)

/build directory/ldd mplayer
libaa.so.1 => /usr/local/lib/libaa.so.1 (0x40348000)

/usr/local/bin/ldd mplayer:
libaa.so.1 => /usr/local/lib/libaa.so.1 (0x40348000)
