easily fixed (almost).
download dvdnav from the repository, then run

./configure2 --with-dvdread=/usr/include/dvdread (assuming that you 
installed the system-wide dvdread with prefix in /usr), then rename 
src/dvdread to src/dvdread.no and run

make && make install

recompile mplayer with --disable-dvdread-internal and enjoy the 
navigation.

The problem is due the messy #include directives that end up including
headers from the wrong position.

I'll come up with a cleaner fix in the next few days
