These are just some ideas, none maybe be related to your problem: - Did you delete all the mplayer files, download a new tarball and make sure there was no corruption in the files? - Is the filesystem EXT2/EXT3? Did you check the fs in case of errors (fsck)? - Try compiling as non-root (only the 'make install' requires root access) - Try compiling some other package (ex: lame) does it give similiar problems? - Are you out of space in /tmp (or in some other partition)? -Mauriat
