There's no need to use root for downloading and compiling software.

What was the error message? I know you're new to this kind of thing, but 
you have to learn to give more detailed information when you have a problem.

Anyway, I'm guessing you don't have subversion installed. Your 
distribution probably provides a package; for instance, if you're using 
Debian (and all/most Debian-based distributions, like Ubuntu), you would 
use 'apt-get install subversion'.

By the way, did you compile mplayer 1.0pre8 yourself or did you find a 
precompiled package somewhere?
