Ok. Now we're getting somewhere. Since there aren't any other more
revealing messages, I'm guessing that you just don't have xv compiled
in. Probably you don't have a package installed named libxv-dev (or
something similar) that provides Xvlib.h.

To confirm whether your mplayer does or does not have xv, run 'mplayer
-vo help' and look for a line like this:
        xv      X11/Xv

If you need any help getting mplayer compiled with xv, then please use
gzip to compress configure.log (from your mplayer source directory after
you run ./configure) and send that as an attachment.

No problem. That's what I asked for. It looks to me like your system
should handle xv just fine.
