I don't know about your error; I compile mplayer on Debian testing quite
frequently.

bugfood at bugfood:~$ locate cc1plus
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-linux/2.95.4/cc1plus
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-linux/3.2.3/cc1plus
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i486-linux/3.3.2/cc1plus


Anyway, mplayer 0.92 is quite old; you should download and compile the
current CVS. Get mplayer cvs here:
http://www.mplayerhq.hu/homepage/design6/dload.html
...and libavcodec cvs here:
