| did you check /proc/cpuinfo to see what extensions your cpu uses and then make sure your not using amd extensions on an intel chip or vice versa. In my case I have an AMD Duron and the use variables sse and sse2 were killing mplayer on my box. They are intel specific. |

| Just letting you know that I have the EXACT same problem. I am pretty sure that I have mplayer compiled with the sse and sse2 flags and have an AMD system. However, I have another AMD system which is basically a clone with the same use flags and Mplayer has no problems whatsoever. Regardless, I will recompile without the sse and sse2 flags on the problem AMD machine and let you know how it works out. |

As it turns out, sse is a valid flag for my processor (Athlon 1600+). I recompiled mplayer without the sse flag just to make sure, and I still get the segfault. However, this only happens with the mplayer gui. Running mplayer without the gui, or using the XMMS mplayer plugin works flawlessley. Too bad 
*Edit
At the last minute I tried deleting my ~/.mplayer folder and now Mplayer is no longer crashing. Someone please varify this fix.

cat /proc/cpuinfo

I had the exact same problem as mentioned. I recompiled with no USE flags and it worked fine, and was in the process of narrowing down which USE flag was causing the error when I tried this. It works again.
Everybody try deleting your ~/.mplayer directory! |

Crazy. Almost a year later and the same trick worked.
I used to get a seg fault ALL THE F**CKING TIME when right clicking a gmplayer window. It drove me mad (I still distrust mplayer to this day because of it).
Moving my ~/.mplayer directory to /tmp (just in case!) and then running gmplayer fixed the problem. No longer does it crash when I right click it's window! Yay!

Consider this a pump incase someone else is having this problem and doesn't know how to fix it...;) |

Well, I noticed this only happens when you set Mplayer to use the Arts Audio output. So I guess it would have to be the -arts USE flag that was causing this problem. But simply setting Gmplayer to use something other than arts would do the trick as well.....and you wouldn't need to recompile. |
