[MPlayer-dev-eng] Incompatible libXext when configuring mplayer with FC3 at amd64 station

[kockkin ko]

I have an amd64 box, and I installed mplayer by compiling the code
using the convention ./configure, make and make install sequence.

When configuring mplayer, I have this errors in configure.log,
indicating impatible libXext as shown below.
Then I use YUM update to update my FC3 335 packages, including all
xorg-x11 x86_64 rpm packages.
Reboot the system, re-do the ./configure.  I still got the same error.

Appreciate any one for any hint and help.

Here the cut-out from configure.log indicating incompatible libXext.
