> The mplayer port has been broken before. Now doubt it's in need of fixing again. I have found over the years that once you get a working version of it in place, don't try to reinstall it. I'm sure the port maintainer does their best, afterall this is a Linux program ported to run on FreeBSD and all the subtle changes can never be thought completely through. Send an e-mail to the port maintainer, they'll get it fixed in the next round.

Thank you Bill, I have three machines two running 8.2 amd64 and one
running 9.0-STABLE and only one had this problem.  I have installed
svn version of mplayer on this machine and it is working fine.  Guess,
I will just run
# portmaster -a -x mplayer
and skip mplayer updates via ports.
Maintainer of mplayer port advised me to update src to latest, either
8.2 or move up to 9.0, but I am hesistant to do so at this time :(

Regards,


Antonio
