I have updated to svn latest and it compiled cleanly.  I don't know if it is a good idea, but I installed on top of the mplayer from ports :(
When I update with portmaster, will use -x mplayer so it will avoid trying to update it.  This is output from part of the build and now version output

Thanks for all the help.  I will use mplayer from svn for now, and I hope to get advice when to use to svn update to avoid to latest on this machine, till I decide to take the plunge and install 9.0 via source/svn/csup or erase and install from scratch.  Got a good running Custom FreeBSD dvd from Manolis K

http://freebsd-custom.wikidot.com/

and I hate to screw it up.  I recently installed nvidia driver which makes things better than the nv and nouveau drivers. 

Regards,

Antonio
