Hi!

Maybe not the cause of the roubles, but I discovered during my LFS/BLFS 
build that installing the drivers from NVidia will brake the build of 
MPlayer. Reason is that NVidia replaces a few GL header files. This 
could be disabled during the install of the drivers, or just use the 
./configure --disable-gl option when compiling MPlayer. Worked for me ;)
If anyone's interested, I can post exactly which files gets replaced by 
the NVidia driver install.

C ya,
