With a text editor.

First, x264 has nothing to do with xvid.

Second, are you sure about those paths?  It should be:
  /usr/local/lib/libx264.a
  /usr/local/include/x264.h

Try moving them, then run MPlayer's configure again.  If it still fails
to detect, then send configure.log to me and I'll try to walk you
through a solution.
