I downloaded the source code from the mplayer.hu site and I followed the 
installation instructions exactly. And as I said everything went smoothly. I 
also downloaded skins and copied them into the usr/local/share/Skin folder 
as i was instructed.

I also have the libgtk1.2 installed on my system.

mplayer works fine from the command line. I have a few .mov and .avi movies 
and it plays them flawlessly.
