You should *never* use --enable-live: The "autodetect" means that mplayers
configure is able to detect if live555 is installed or not.
(Before sending bug reports about configure, you should read its complete output
carefully: If I remember correctly, it says that you must not send bugreports if
you used --enable-* except --enable-gui)
Just install live555 into /usr/lib/live, /usr/local/live or /usr/local/lib/live
(that's what you did), if it's not automatically detected by mplayers configure,
something went wrong with the installation of live555.

Just to make sure: Do not use --enable-live!

I never used "--enable-debug" myself (so I don't know if it works for you),
please try without.

Please note that there is a difference between an error and a warning - there
are a lot of warnings when compiling mplayer and they are not the reason for a
compile error.

As a rule of thumb, it is never a good idea to cut make's output (but of course,
you should only include the lines after - and including - the last cc ...) when
you ask questions on this list.

Please fix your mail client: Your lines are too long.
