Ok, maybe I was not clear.  I am attempting the same thing.  I compile in
/home/sustik/src/x264 after getting the sources there via git.

So it would look in some random directory in my home?  Probably make install
of x264 puts the library on your system exactly where mplayer looks for it...
Since it does not on my debian system, hence the need for the links.

Just to be sure, could you do a:
> string any.avi | grep "x264"

and verify that it is the same version as reported by your x264 --version?
