[MPlayer-users] What Have I Done???

[CD Baric]

Dear Fellow Users & Developers:

I have been a mplayer user always electing to build from source over the years.

I have had a lot of success with mplayer (my main video and dvd
player) and mencoder (my main video coder app) - I still prefer the
command line interface to all other UIs.

Here is my problem, I am building a Slackware box for a friend and
have installed some hi-power apps (blender, POV-Ray, Audacity,
AviDemux, kivo and cinerella. What this means is a bewildering array
of libs and SDKs have been installed.

I am now attempting to build and install mplayer-1.0rc1 (fresh
download) and for the first time in ages I am having problems - no
doubt as a result of my numerous lib additions.

No problems with ./configure --enable-gui

Here is the relevent build error:

make -C loader

make[1]: *** [ldt_keeper.o] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/MPlayer-1.0rc1/loader'
make: *** [loader/libloader.a] Error 2

I even tried installing a precompiled mplayer specifically built for
Slaackware but No Joy!

Here is that error message:

mplayer: error while loading shared libraries: libavformat.so.51:
cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I am not smart enough to know what I have done wrong so I need some help.

Anybody have a clue they wish to share?

Thanks,

Bar
