Looks like a configure bug to me. If you disable fontconfig, as far as
I know, ASS support should be disabled too.

Try to upgrade/install fontconfig and freetype though macports and you
should be fine.

Shouldn't be necessary. It works on other's machines, at least ppl
with ATI cards. I don't have GL dev headers, so on my machine
configure doesn't try to activate GL.

No problem here ;-)

I have absolutely no problem at all was a simple ./configure && make
here on OSX/G5/10.4.9

Here are the packets I have installed through macports:
sudo port installed
The following ports are currently installed:
  autoconf @2.60_0 (active)
  automake @1.9.6_0 (active)
  expat @2.0.0_1 (active)
  fontconfig @2.3.2_1+macosx
  fontconfig @2.3.2_2+macosx (active)
  freetype @2.1.10_1 (active)
  gettext @0.15_0 (active)
  libiconv @1.11_0+darwin_8 (active)
  libogg @1.1.3_0 (active)
  libsdl @1.2.10_0+darwin_8
  libsdl @1.2.11_0+darwin_8 (active)
  libtool @1.5.22_0 (active)
  libvorbis @1.1.2_0 (active)

  normalize @0.7.6_2 (active)
  ogmtools @1.5_0 (active)
  openssl @0.9.8d_0+darwin_8 (active)
  perl5.8 @5.8.8_0+darwin_8 (active)
  pkgconfig @0.20_0
  pkgconfig @0.21_0 (active)

  vorbis-tools @1.1.1_0 (active)
  wget @1.10.2_0+darwin_8 (active)
  zlib @1.2.3_0 (active)

Off course, some of them are irrelevent to MPlayer configuration, I
just wanted to give a full answer ;-)
