  6. This is quite a bit late I suppose. But for whoever might be interested in the future. The libvo thing is (as is suggested by make) related to IVTV Video Out, which if you check the bottom of your ./configure output is enabled. Solution being, disable it like so: ./configure –disable-ivtv. Easy isn’t it? For anything else that you might get, do the same thing. An alternative would be to install whatever the heck is needed to make ivtv work, but that sounds like work to me…

  7. thanks blah! this helped! better late than never, indeed

  8. Working nice ! Easy to understand. Thanks you !

  9. after doing ./configure –disable-ivtv

    getting this error

    libvo/libvo.a(video_out.o):(.data+0x48): undefined reference to `video_out_ivtv’
    collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
    make: *** [mplayer] Error 1

    what to do help me…
