If you are still having problems make’ing after installing libxxf86vm-dev, do a ./configure again. That fixed it for me.

Me too, and it took me half an hour to figure out why! By the way, do you have any idea why it takes so long to compile Mplayer, that’s even longer than compiling kernels!!!!

yep, thats it working now – after 3 compiles, first time without this, second time without the enable gui switch, just a note, remember to use this.
