[MPlayer-users] problem compiling mplayer debian etch

[In Incognito]

I'm running debian and for some reason mplayer will not compile with
"--enable-static". I get the same error without --enable-static too.

make spits out this error:

make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/sam/mplayer-export-2009-03-27/libavformat'

Am I missing something? During configure all the ffmpeg checks come back as
static:

Checking for FFmpeg libavutil ... yes (static)
Checking for FFmpeg libavcodec ... yes (static)
Checking for FFmpeg libavformat ... yes (static)
Checking for FFmpeg libpostproc ... yes (static)
Checking for FFmpeg libswscale ... yes (static)
