Generally non-root users do not have permission to write to
/usr/local/lib/ and /usr/local/bin/.
If you wish to install mplayer to /usr/local/, you must be root.
You could also install mplayer to your home directory if you don't have
root on the machine, just path configure the --prefix= option for the
directory you wish to install to.
