    RH8.0 boot, and install problems

    I RTFM a few times now and I still get errors, heres exactly what I do

    I press ctrl+alt F1, I login under my account enter my pw. I type dir, then I goto the folder I need

    /home/$me/MPlayer

    I type /configure, then ./configure both the same. Then I type
    make, then make install. After that I get errors one of them was an Error 1, and an Error 2.

    I also got something like libstc headers. are not installed.

    Thanks for help in advance.

    My bootup problem is I get INIT: verison 2.84 booting
    so i boot from disk and enter "linux apm=idle_threshold=100"
    Then I boot up fine.

    After going to my command line i typed dir, that brought upa list of directories and files that were on my hd.

    The file was in /home/Ben/MPlayer

    so I typed cd MPlayer and now I was in the MPlayer folder, there I typed

    ./configure after it going through a lot of text across the screen I typed make install, after which it gave me errors of libstd headers not installed, and some things refering to error 1 and error2.

    Have you tried this from root ? is the install file there or is there a file named generic ?if so try "make generic" do it with root privalges to have you tried being root to install the software ?

    the normal compile order:

    after unzipping the source and changing (cd) to the folder,
    the things you type in bold and the comment in italic

    ./configure this configures the makefile for your setup
    make this compiles the software
    su this changes user to superuser and asks for a password
    make install this installs the software

    it seems like only the superuser (root) has right to save files to the place you are trying to install (wich is just as well ).
    or perhaps one or another lib is missing..

    If you already install MPlayer on your RH linux 8, you can go to your shell terminal and type "mplayer" and that will bring up your mplayer to play DVD movie.... or usually if mplayer already instal,l you can click on your KDE/GNOME find ..multimedia section and you will find mplayer
