Thanks for all the help.  Making progress.  Mplayer seems to find and run dvdnav-config, 
but not to recognize the result:

As regular user, unless noted:
1.  cd /home/bill/opt/mplayerfiles
2.  svn checkout svn://svn.mplayerhq.hu/dvdnav/trunk/libdvdnav
	>Checked out revision 950.
3.  cd libdvdnav
4.  ./configure2
5.  make
6.  as root:  make install
7.  ll /usr/local/bin
	>-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1671 Jul 27 19:04 dvdnav-config

The "configure2" in /libdvdnav is suspicious; /libdvdnav contains no unnumbered 
"configure".  Perhaps this is a clue?
