I got the same error. The code fix recommended worked. Thanks!
I am also using Mandrake 10. I tried the rpm originally and at run-time got some weird messages including that my computer was too slow and to recompile with a particular flag. It's an 800Mhz which i know isn't fast, but don't think it should be "too slow".
I decided to recompile and that's when my problems started.
I made the change and it works good now... though no audio. I'm sure i'll figure that one out shortly.
I'm using Mandrake 10.0 but only because I'm too lazy to run something like Slackware on my main machine.
In my case, I'm recompiling MPlayer both to improve efficiency, and to fix some shortcomings in the RPMed version. (Mainly the fact that it won't play audio from Matroska video files if it's encoded in AC3 format.)

Top stuff! This workaround was good for me running SuSE 9.0 Professional with GCC 3.3.1.
