A bug has been filed for this:
Based on one of the comments in this bug report, I did the following and got a workable mplayer: % sudo -s # port install mplayer After the build fails, do this ... # cd /opt/local/var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org # cd release/ports/multimedia/mplayer (I broke this into two 'cd' commands here because the single line is too long for the Gmane software that I'm using to post this message) # vi Portfile At the end of the "configure.args-append" attribute, add these options, and then save the file and exit 'vi'. --disable-mmx --disable-sse --disable-xinerama (if you put these on a new line, make sure that the previous line ends with a space followed by a backslash) Then, just do this again: # port install mplayer # exit (make sure you do this 'exit' ... it gets you out of the root shell that 'sudo -s' put you in, above) According to the bug report comments, this produces a version that doesn't use make use of assembler source code and which therefore isn't as fast as it could be. The package maintainer said that he'd get back and fix this properly some time after Dec. 7, but at least this build will provide something usable until then. -- Lloyd Zusman hippoman@potamuses.net God bless you.
