My guess: over all that adding support for jack and PA stuff you forgot
that you'd also like your MPlayer to support X and forgot to install
some of the headers/dev packages for that...
Always check if the summary at the end of configure has the things you
need, especially xv for video out, alsa for audio out etc.
