[SOLVED] No xpidl compiler found?

[RohanC]

I have tried searching for an answer to this but am having no luck. I am trying to install mplayer plugin as per instructions here: http://mplayerplug-in.sourceforge.net/install.php
When I attempt './configure --enable-gtk1 --with-mozilla-home=/usr/lib/iceweasel --with-gecko-sdk=/home/rohan/xulrunner-sdk' it gives the following result:
checking for g++... g++
checking for C++ compiler default output file name... a.out

checking whether we are cross compiling... no

Any help appreciated.

the package mozilla-mplayer is available in ubuntu's repos and does the same thing. there's no need to compile from source unless you really need the newest version.

I have the same problem
...
Using new (v1.7+) gecko-sdk
checking for xpidl... no
configure: error: xpidl compiler not found

But I need te compile, because I use Opera Browser, and mplayer plugin must be compile with Gecko path.

Because with mplayer plugin from repositories, firefox and Seamonkey worx perfectly, but in Opera, the sound work but image is very small, liko some pixels!! very, very small.
