When I try to compile mplayer from source on my system, it exits with an error message saying that the version of gcc installed on the system is not supported by mplayer. And hence, the search for an alternative.
There'll be a bunch to gcc versions on your system. Check with $ ls /usr/bin/gcc*
/usr/bin/gcc is just is link to one of these. Try changing the gcc used from gcc-3.x to gcc-4.x (or vice-versa) as follows: $ export CC=/usr/bin/gcc-xx
Then try compiling. You might need to change g++ also: $ export CXX=/usr/bin/g++-xx
