MPlayer was compiled without libmp3lame support

hi, i am trying to use mencoder to encode something into mp3.

my ./configure says this:
Checking for libmp3lame (for mencoder) ... yes

i configured both with --prefix=/usr

what other option do i need to have mencoder use lame correctly.

thanks,

--enable-mp3lame

good idea. that is actually a ./configure option for ffmpeg but does not work for mplayer/ mencoder.

here is my mistake:
Setting prefix=/usr will override the default /usr/local. Are you sure you are not running another, maybe earlier, version at /usr/local/bin/mencoder?

Command 'which mencoder' will show actual path used when you run 'mencoder'.
...
i originally installed it but read in the readme that libmp3lame installs in /usr so i reinstalled it (i guess i shouldve uninstalled it first).

uhm, you're right. my memory is a bit faulty :)

Interestingly I am using

--enable-gpl
--enable-shared
--enable-pthreads
--enable-libogg
--enable-libmp3lame
--enable-libvorbis
--enable-liba52
--enable-pp
--enable-x11grab


for ffmpeg

and this seems to make mplayer happy enough to playback pretty most things

FFmpeg's configuration options don't affect MPlayer in any way unless you have specifically built MPlayer with external libav* libraries. Normally those libraries are included in the MPlayer source tree and linked statically into the mplayer and mencoder binaries.

./configure --prefix=/usr \
--enable-libmp3lame \
--enable-libogg \
--enable-libvorbis \
--enable-libtheora \
--enable-libfaac \
--enable-libfaad \
--enable-liba52 \
--enable-libx264 \
--enable-libxvid \
--enable-libamr-nb \
--enable-libamr-wb \
--enable-gpl \
--enable-pp \
--enable-pthreads \
--disable-debug \
--enable-shared \

is what i norm use to make ffmpeg - i also compile libdca (dts) and everything plays as it should :) mplayer doesnt seem to throw any errors when i use them

FFmpeg has his own dts decoder now...no need to compile libdca for it.

must be im using an older version as ffmpeg kept kicking out when i tried it before, suppose i could make a new package
