Using slackware 11.0/Current.

Apparently mplayer compile uses the /usr/X11R6/lib's when compiling as 
opposed to /usr/lib.  And the package install does not overwrite those 
in X11R6, so you were correct.

Now compile is failing here:

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lfontconfig
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [mencoder] Error 1

even though configure finds fontconfig

Checking for fontconfig ... yes

I have fontconfig-2.4.1 installed.
