I don't know where your older version is. If in /usr and your newer in
/usr/local then it can "confuse" mencoder and it can pick up the old
one. Also make sure you configure x264 with --enable-shared. IIRC (and
don't quote me on that) mencoder will favor shared libs over static
ones (maybe your old one is a shared lib, thus it gets picked up)

you can also check to which lib it is linked to: ldd /path/to/mencoder/mencoder

Easiest is to just remove *all* x264 stuff on your machine, get latest
x264 git and compile with --enable-shared, then compile mplayer

I'm not familiar with debian packaging. I'm on openSUSE (RPM distro)
