I hit the same error.<BR>
<BR>
I tried to build it on my gentoo box but I got the error below because I'd not installed the 180.06 nvidia drivers yet. I think the error relates to the final linking stage against the new drivers. The gentoo box is using gcc 4.1.2 so it should have compiled.<BR>
<BR>
I decided I didn't want to break my media pc by frobbing with the video driver so I repeated the process on my ubuntu 8.10 laptop (both boxes have an nvidia 8400 of some description). I installed the latest nvidia driver but also failed to get the mplayer + patches to compile. I'm not sure if it failed to compile because of an issue with the driver installation or because of the version of the compiler.<BR>
<BR>
I then tried to remove the new driver and go back to the package manager installed driver which took me a couple hours of swearing and broken X... <BR>
<BR>
My advise to people would be to wait a couple of months while they iron out some of the teething problems. I spent 3-4 hours and have very little to show for it :(<BR>
