Sorry if I caused any confusion. I downloaded live 555 from
http://www.live555.com/liveMedia/public/ and downloaded
live555-latest.tar.gz
11th June 2010. And the error I'm getting is:


MPlayer interrupted by signal 13 in module: free_demuxer
- MPlayer crashed. This shouldn't happen.
  It can be a bug in the MPlayer code _or_ in your drivers _or_ in your
  gcc version. If you think it's MPlayer's fault, please read
  DOCS/HTML/en/bugreports.html and follow the instructions there. We can't and
  won't help unless you provide this information when reporting a possible bug.

Also I did make distclean inside mplayer directory before compile and install.

Thank you for the patch. I'll now apply the patch and let you know how
things work out.
