I used the wrong address on my reply so it didn't make it to the list.
Here it is forwarded.

As you said, that pulled in the ffmpeg.  And configure then worked
fine.  I thought it might be some sort of reconfiguration, so I had
earlier deleted the entire mplayer svn directory, and repulled trunk
from the web using subversion. It contained the faulty ffmpeg version
and didn't ask if it could get the web version.  Now that we've had this
conversation, anyone who pull the subversion repository for mplayer
will know to delete the ffmpeg directory before they configure and
compile.

Everything compiled, but when creating the mplayer executable,
there was an error:
/usr/bin/ld: cannot open output file mplayer: Is a
directory                                             
collect2: ld returned 1 exit
status                                                                      
make: *** [mplayer] Error 1 

For some reason it nested the source structure, creating the original
mplayer directory within the checked out mplayer directory, and thus
preventing the executable from being built.

Thanks for your help.  I'll play around with it until I get it working,
now that I know that it is the ffmpeg directory causing the original
problem.
