mplayer doesn't install in Slackware 10

I have mplayer installed and want to stream videos in Mozilla. When I tried to install the mplayer-plugin, it didn't seem to install the plugin. I go to Help > About Plugins and I don't see the plugin on there. Help?

I've just tried doing the same on Slack 10 and get the same error, I don't know whether there is something about Slack causing this problem.

I'm not very sure about the error since I don't use mplayer plug ins.
But, read about it, maybe u are missing some required packeges or something.

You need to install mozilla development packages.

MPlayer Plugin may need some devel stuff.

If you can't get it figured out, try "mozplugger".

http://mozplugger.mozdev.org/

Download and extract the tarball, then enter the mozplugger directory
and do:

make linux

Then there are a couple files to move around.
The readme has instructions.

By default it seems to work well with Apple Quicktime and WMV.
You can set it up for Real I think, but I haven't messed with it.

I've tried that, but it still can't find a plugin to stream anything.
