You are correct.... no xorg-dev package/headers. I assume that these
packages assist ./configure to determine the code to include for mplayer
to use xorg. I installed the xorg-dev and the libxv-dev packages... and
I now get a window that pops up displaying the video... thank you.
I thought that xorg was for the gui version of mplayer. I guess not.
Yes, this is my first go at compiling mplayer... I'll improve my
feedback info as my understanding evolves.
Thanks once again.
