Please post the part of the compile which fails - both the command line
which is displayed and all of the errors which appear.

The only thing I can think of, with the virtually nonexistent
information that you've provided, is that maybe you actually didn't
configure MPlayer - but in that case I wouldn't think you'd be able to
get even as far as you apparently have.

(Incidentally, I'll note that help_mp-en.h is *not* supposed to be in
"/help/"; it's supposed to he in "help/". The former directory is in the
root directory of your hard drive, and the latter is in the current
directory. This was probably just a typo on your part, but in the
unlikely event that you actually *have* created a directory named /help/
and moved the file there, it would definitely cause problems.)
