P.S. you can install it to wherever by modifying the --prefix value

options:
./configure #please refer to ./configure --help
--prefix=/usr/local/mplayer/ #install path.
--enable-gui #if you are not going to use mplayer in xwindow, you don;t this.
--with-codecsdir=/usr/lib/codes/ #specify the path for codes. Remember? we just installed the codes here.
--with-win32libdir=/usr/lib/wincodes/ #specify the path for codes

you have to wait for a while after make and make install
once it is installed
please copy the sample config file to /etc directory.

And sorry about my bad English. Hope you can understand me.

Thanks for the guide. I'm more of a xine fan myself, but I like to keep an up-to-date copy of mplayer around too...
