Here another problem ;)
I have successfully installed mplayer, and I must say that it really is a great player!
Everything works fine, except for one thing:
I have tried to include Xvid into the codecs mplayer uses, because I want to encode using mencoder (for playback libavcodec would be enough, used ffdshow under windows anyway...).
I did install Xvid, configured mplayer with --with-xvidcore=/usr/local/lib, configure found Xvid support (both libxvidcore.so and .a are there...).
After make and make install, I tried to fire up mplayer, but it only produced an error message: can't find libxvidcore.so...
I symlinked the library to every path I could imagine mplayer looking in, but of course that was no solution.
Then I searched the internet for hours, and finally found this (find the message text below):
http://edu.bnhof.de/pipermail/xvid-devel/2003-February/002290.html
I tried to apply the fix to my configure script, even found the lines, changed them, but it didn't work (as I had expected, since the fix is for BSD).
I'm running Debian Woody, by the way...
Tried both MPlayer release and CVS, none worked with Xvid.
If any of you has any idea, or maybe even a solution, I would be extremely glad, because I'm running out of ideas at the moment...

"Hi!
I'm using one of the *BSD* variants (BSD/OS 4.3.1 to be precise) and
was surprised to get a "libxvidcore.so not found" error when running
'mencoder' (MPlayer's encoder which uses libxvidcore):
moe.18-> mencoder
mencoder: can't load library 'libxvidcore.so'

The problem is that the shared library does not have a "soname" for
the dynamic linker to find. When creating a shared library it
seems to be necessary to add use "-soname libxvidcore.so -shared"
This small patch does rely on using 'gcc' to pass thru to the linker
the appropriate flags:
