Why rc1? That's very old.

At the minimum, you should use rc2, which is still well over a year old
now. Preferably, you should use the latest source code from SVN.

Your version of X264 (or, at least, the corresponding development
headers) does not match the version which that particular version of
MPlayer requires. Either use a version of the MPlayer source which works
with the version of X264 which you have available, or install a version
fo X264 which works with the version of the MPlayer source you are
trying to compile.

Or else just disable X264 at compile time.
