I found some bug-reports on the issue - maybe you should get a newer source ?
some mentioned it would not fail if built without ivtv - do you need it?
found here:
"link deleted"
ps: why is this post so wide? Can you edit these long lines out?
I know this post is about a month old, but I'd had the same problem installing and setting up a Slackware system. I had tried to manually disable the ivtv ability, but maybe my syntax (typing) was wrong. I completely deleted the MplayerXXXX directory I was in and started over, copying and pasting from your quote. Compiled perfectly!
I tried to compile from latest cvn (07/10/2008) and ended with an entire set of new problems, it couldn't find some other libraries that were part of the ffmpeg library. I verified I had compiled them and used slocate to verify they were present, but current cvn version didn't work well either.
Good news with my frustration, I downloaded and compiled every video/audio codec available to try to get either to compile. I can play DVD, H264/AAC, Xvid, etc. with no problems in xine and mplayer. My mplayer plugin in firefox works now as well as a movie I downloaded and copied from my Playstation3, finally, Thanks since original poster did not reply.
p.s. I agree I don't know why the post is so wide?
