Thought that might be the case as I did them all by checkinstall.

Ok I have cleaned them all out and in doing so I squashed all libpng refs so 
as kde would not startup. I had a backup of all the system so as I then 
replaced libpng.so.2.1.0.8 and did a link to so.2 and all worked.

I agree with you as per the mess, however the thought is to keep going whilst 
I am still making rpms with checkinstall and then do a completely new install 
and update via the now made rpms.

Lastly I have attempted a reconfigure for Mplayer and included --enable-gui 
which now does not complain re libpng, not being found. But again i am back 
to the original error in make, re:

libmpdemux/libmpdemux.a(demux_ogg.o): In function `demux_ogg_read_packet':
demux_ogg.o(.text+0x5e): undefined reference to `vorbis_packet_blocksize'
make: *** [mplayer] Error 1

I then tried your answer to this by ; --disable-vorbis but this did not work 
same error. Any idea what the disable command is for the above. i do not need 
vorbis; I think.
