VCD no go with MPlayer.

I still have issues with playing video on Debian Etch i386. I'll try
to take this piecemeal and see if I can get the individual problems
sorted out. When I try to run MPlayer from the command line, I get a
number of various errors. I have tried to follow (among other things)
Debian Help http://www.debianhelp.co.uk/mplayer.htm It seems that
there are either some libs missing in Etch or MPlayer is in
transition??? Here is what I get when I try to follow the Debian Help
advice - but without building MPlayer from scratch:

Among other things, there seems to be a problem with video output
being set up correctly. Any ideas?

Cheers,

Brian
