I would have to agree on this one. For example, here is my mplayer configure command when I compile it:
./configure --prefix=/opt/mplayer-0.90rc4 \ --datadir=/opt/mplayer-common/share/mplayer \ --with-win32libdir=/opt/mplayer-common/lib/codecs/ \ --with-xanimlibdir=/opt/mplayer-common/lib/codecs/ \ --with-reallibdir=/opt/mplayer-common/lib/codecs/ \ --enable-opendivx --enable-gui Full command is located in a script called mplayer.config Make sure you have the latest Divx4Linux downloaded compiled and installed from avifile.sf.net. I downloaded all the w32 codecs from mplayerhq.hu and placed them in /opt/mplayer-common/lib/codecs. Every time a new version of MPlayer comes out, I adjust the prefix in the script and instant upgrade. /opt/mplayer actually points to the latest version on my machine. Old versions are killed once I decide the one I compiled is working correctly ;) Once I upgraded using this method and I couldn't play a Divx I had saved. Come up with your own system, of course, but guarenteed you will be happier compiling it from source. This is DEFINATELY one piece of software you want optomized to your processor. -- Arthur H.
