For one thing, you're compiling 1.0rc2, which is... fairly old. It's the
most recent official release, but that's because many of the MPlayer
developers don't believe in releases per se. Versions older than a month
or two are almost never supported here, particularly not if bugs are
discovered.

It looks like there's likely to be a 1.0rc3 fairly soon, and you might
want to hold off for that if you do want to use a release version, but
you would almost certainly be better served to obtain the latest code
from SVN.

If you still have problems with compilation on the more recent source,
then you're much more likely to get actual help here.
