Probably doesn't help anyone, but on one of my Slackware installs, I use my very own self made cheat sheet. It may be useful to others.

Note, this is using a Slackware 10.1 install, with NVidia drivers already installed. Also note that I use tab completion for part of this, because the names tend change every day.

**EDIT**
Also, note that the last line, about the ttf fonts can be changed to ANY ttf font from anywhere on your system. This just happens to be a font that I have on my system.
**/EDIT**

Anyway:

Code:
	$ mkdir -p /tmp/mplayer
	$ cd /tmp/mplayer
	$ wget ftp://ftp5.mplayerhq.hu/mplayer/cvs/MPlayer-current.tar.bz2
	$ wget http://www1.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/releases/codecs/all-20050216.tar.bz2
	$ tar -xvjf MPlayer-current.tar.bz2
	$ tar -xvjf all-20050216.tar.bz2
	$ cd all<tab><enter>
	$ su
	# mkdir /usr/lib/codecs
	# cp * /usr/lib/codecs
	# ln -s /usr/lib/codecs /usr/lib/win32
	# exit
	$ cd ../MPlayer<tab>2<tab><enter>
	$ ./configure --prefix=/usr --confdir=/etc --enable-gui --with-codecsdir=/usr/lib/win32 --enable-xvmc --with-xvmclib=XvMCNVIDIA --with-extraincdir=/usr/include/cdio
	$ make
	$ su
	# checkinstall
	# exit
	$ mkdir ~/.mplayer
	$ cp /usr/share/mythtv/FreeSans.ttf ~/.mplayer/subfont.ttf
	$
With the issue of what is required from X11, this should tell you what works for me (all 10.1 packages from fresh Slackware install):

Code:
mythuser@mythtv:~$ ls /var/log/packages/x11*
/var/log/packages/x11-6.8.1-i486-3
/var/log/packages/x11-devel-6.8.1-i486-3
/var/log/packages/x11-docs-6.8.1-noarch-2
/var/log/packages/x11-docs-html-6.8.1-noarch-2
/var/log/packages/x11-fonts-100dpi-6.8.1-noarch-2
/var/log/packages/x11-fonts-cyrillic-6.8.1-noarch-2
/var/log/packages/x11-fonts-misc-6.8.1-noarch-2
/var/log/packages/x11-fonts-scale-6.8.1-noarch-2
/var/log/packages/x11-xdmx-6.8.1-i486-2
/var/log/packages/x11-xnest-6.8.1-i486-2
/var/log/packages/x11-xvfb-6.8.1-i486-2
While not ALL are required, I'm guessing that you can use this to figure out what you are missing that needs to be added.

Why? Use the above. It's about as easy as it comes.

If that is too hard, just grab the codecs and use the relevant sections above. Then use xine. It comes right from Slackware and can use the MPlayer codecs. I'll even modify the above instructions so that the codecs are sure to work right for you in xine.

Code:
$ mkdir -p /tmp/mplayer
$ cd /tmp/mplayer
$ wget http://www1.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/releases/codecs/all-20050216.tar.bz2
$ tar -xvjf all-20050216.tar.bz2
$ cd all<tab><enter>
$ su
# mkdir /usr/lib/codecs
# cp * /usr/lib/codecs
# ln -s /usr/lib/codecs /usr/lib/win32
# exit
$
That is simple and should take less than, oh, 3 minutes, depending on connection speed and how fast you type (or copy and paste).

No... I'm sure you're right. I'll check it out.
But I would like to just go ... 'install mplayer' and be happy.

I installed the codecs and fonts. And, well, I'm doing this in ubuntu.

But, it was the exact same error from the original poster here in slackware.

Maybe this will help.
