to the original poster:

why are you using this terribly long configure line? :)

to the point:

in mplayer's configure, --enable-* means FORCE. that means, if you say 
--enable-fontconfig, it will just assume fontconfig is there (even if it 
is not there).

that's why Dominik recommended to remove that part.

generally, you should not "--enable" anything.

so,

remove all the --enable lines, and try again.

p.s: mplayer-advusers is probably not the best place to ask such 
questions. please use mplayer-users in the future.
