after unzipping, enter the mplayer source dierctory and do a "./configure --disable-gcc-checking". when you're asked for a keyword, give "gcc 2.96 is broken". that will compile it. the gcc 2.96 warning is perhaps exaggerated. i compiled it with that, and it runs faultlessly on my system. also, don't forget to download the w32codecs.zip package from the mplayer site and unzip it in /usr/lib/win32 BEFORE you do ./configure. if you want the timer and volume slider (in non-gui mode), also download any one font package from the same site. install it according to directions in <mplayer source directory>/DOCS/documentation.htm if you have svgalib installed, try the console mode with mplayer -vo svga <filename>. it's the best way to run mplayer, for my money after "make" and "make install", don't forget to copy <mplayer source directory>/etc/codecs.conf to <your home directory>/.mplayer that's it.
