Seems you are trying to build a 64 bits mplayer with 32 bits xlibs,
or the opposite.

Maybe configure should search in /usr/X11R6/lib64 first ?
You can try to put /usr/X11R6/lib64 at the begining of the following
line of configure :
  for I in /usr/X11R6/lib /usr/lib/X11R6 /usr/X11/lib /usr/lib32 /usr/openwin/lib /usr/X11R6/lib64 /usr/lib ; do

But such a question certainly belong to MPlayer-user list.
