Got it fixed.
I had to remove _all_ traces of divx4/5 from /usr/local (header files
and divx4/5 libraries); then rebuild mplayer with
./configure --enable-largefiles --disable-gcc-checking
--disable-freetype --disable-xvid --disable-divx4linux
to keep it from trying to use divx and to use libavcodec instead. I can
now play divx4, divx5, and xvid encoded video via mplayer + libavcodec.
Thanks for your help.
