[MPlayer-users] Undefined reference to `pp_help' while compiling MPlayer SVN r. 24722

[Perry Valdez]

I'm doing a regression test to search for a possible bug that broke 
dumping asf streams, so I checked out MPlayer revision 24722 (MPlayer 
1.0 RC2) here in Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon (Linux  2.6.22-14-generic #1 SMP). 
Then I ran "make clean", "make distclean", "./configure --prefix=/usr" 
and "make". But my compilation resulted in an error: "undefined 
reference to `pp_help'". Here's a partial log:

The latest SVN revisions compiled fine, but revision 24722 did not. I 
googled for answers but I'm unable to find a satisfactory one (most of 
the search results have to do with "--enable-shared-pp" and porting to 
FreeBSD, which don't apply to my situation).

I uploaded "configure.log" to 
ftp://upload.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/incoming/perryv/  so that you can see 
what exactly happened when I ran ./configure.

What caused the undefined reference error? Dependency problem? Did I 
fail to install a library? What should I do?
