Hello all! I am having some serious problems with mPlayer and streaming all internet radio stations!!! First and foremost I am running Gutsy. I followed the installation instructions to the 'T" on the first page of this post and my first wall that I hit is when I do ./configure I receive the following

Check "configure.log" if you do not understand why it failed.
I checked the configure.log and I am not familiar enough with the Linux language yet to fully understand what the issue is. So what I did (out of frustration) I ignored the error message above and continued on with the installation. I can get MPlayer to open both from Applications and from Terminal, the skin works and all. Now I have the MediaConnectivity plug-in installed for Firefox and it is setup to have gmplayer be the player for all file types. When I click what should be an internet radio station, lets take NPR for example I receive the following error:
Failed to open icy-url:http://www.shoutcast.com. When trying to open a sirius channel, MPlayer opens and I receive a similar error. I installed all of the codecs per the instructions on page 1.
Prior to this installation attempt I installed MPLayer from Synaptic and I was still unable to play any internet radio streams, all other forms of sound work, videos, CD's systems sounds, etc. Except for streaming video and radio. I am wondering if the issue I am having getting streaming media to work is related to the same issue I am having with Sipie. If anyone isnt familiar with Sipie (ignore the last sentence) Sipie works perfectly except for sound!! This all is very frustrating!! To the point that I am considering re-imaging my laptop and I really don't want to!! Anyone that could possibly help it would be greatly appreciated!!!
Thank You,
Paul
EDIT
I ran mplayer from terminal using the command mplayer (stream location) and this worked. When I ran the command gmplayer (stream location) I still receive the errors stated above. So I guess this can be a temporary stopgap but any insight would be appreciated on the issues I am having.
