    Thanks for the info about the questions list, a nice dude already let me
    know about it.

    In reference to the ports system,

    I keep getting make errors when trying to use the new port for
    mplayer-1.0...

    I think that it uses make instead of gmake, because I got the same
    errors until I remembered to use gmake. I have gotten it to
    compile/install from a gmake build, ports still does not work for me.

    The error was evidently due to a miscellaneous directory having been
    created in the compile directory for mplayer. I found it and removed
    it, and then proceeded with the install from the tared download from
    mplayer.org.

    Thanks for the reply, though.

    Respectfully,
