You wrote that you had done that first, and that the resulting MPlayer
did not have AA support. We infer that the autodetection did not detect
your copy of the relevant library. However, what we are currently trying
to do is figure out *why* configure did not detect the library, and
therefore we are asking you to do certain things to be able to provide
us useful information.

Which 'AAlib section'? The one from when you had configured with
'--enable-aalib', or the one from when you had left that option out?

The latter is the one we need. As you saw, the one from configuring with
the --enable option reports only "yes", because no autodetection was
run. In order to figure out why autodetection is failing, we need to see
the log of what happens when it fails.
