Is this a known problem? The last known version of mplayer I can

failed builds.
I'm using Debian GNU/Linux AMD64 (Lenny). If this is an unusual
case, I'll gladly attach a full build log on my next post. For
now here's the result of ldd on my latest version r28997 build:
Full build log not necessary. You've already provided your
configure line; the next thing to provide would be the final GCC
command line from the 'make' command, and the full text output from
that command including all errors. If that isn't enough, the next
thing we would probably need would be the configure.log.
However, before posting any of that: have you tried running 'make
distclean' and reconfiguring before rebuilding? Every so often that
is necessary in order to successfully recompile. (I consider this
indicative of a less-than-ideal build system setup, but
constructing a perfect one is of course exceedingly difficult.)
"make distclean" appears to be the magic command. Latest svn now
builds successfully. In the past I used "make clean". Thanks!
P.S. What's the difference between "clean" and "distclean" anyway?
'make clean' removes the mplayer and mencoder binaries and the various
intermediate-stage object files.
'make distclean' removes everything which can be re-generated -
config.h, the .d files, et cetera - giving you, in theory, a source tree
identical to what you'd get if you checked out a fresh copy from SVN.
Note also that much of the time 'make depend' or 'make dep' will let you
rebuild successfully without having to go quite as far as 'make
distclean'; however, the compilation time saved is not really very much,
and 'make dep' fails just often enough that 'make distclean' is the more
practical solution if you aren't having failures on a constant basis.
