 I usually configure mplayer with
./configure --enable-x264 --enable-xvid ...
so it will actually break if it can't find them.  I'd rather find out
while
I'm already recompiling it, instead of later when I go to encode
something.

 Anyway, with those options, make leaves out -lxvidcore and -lx264
when
linking mencoder.  The result is lots of unresolved symbols, so no
mencoder.
This problem popped between r23843 and the current SVN r23886.

 Letting it autodetect them works fine.  My xvid is in /usr, from an
Ubuntu
package.  My x264 is in /usr/local, compiled from svn.  I'm on AMD64
Ubuntu
Feisty.

 I use
./configure --enable-largefiles --enable-x264 --enable-xvid \
--enable-fbdev --enable-alsa --disable-dga --disable-svga \
--disable-dxr2 --disable-dxr3 --disable-dvb --disable-dvbhead \
--disable-zr --disable-tv --disable-vstream
