Hi,

thanks but yes, I understood that reading the documentation already.

Thanks, but however being a very longtimer free software user, contributor and 
activist, I don't know what a "symbol" is...

How can I do to find where on the system they could be? The descriptions of the 
various "--extra-* configure options" in the script are almost like chinese for 
me...

I've done it initially. There was missing libraries for various functions I 
need in MPlayer, so I've spent hours installing the necessary packages. But for 
TLS support, there is only "no" displayed next to "checking for GNUTLS", 
without any additional information, so I have no clues at all to guess what's 
missing. Could you give me some more of these last ones so I can go forward?
