That's exactly what I was after. This does the the same thing as dpkg
doesn't it? Any differences besides the commands you give? 

I still cannot even get the pre6a mplayer to compile though so i can't
use dpkg, check install, or make install until i get pre6 to compile. 

these are the errors i get:

/usr/lib/libGL.a(glxcmds.o)(.text+0x2eea): In function
`glXGetMscRateOML':
: undefined reference to `XF86VidModeQueryVersion'
/usr/lib/libGL.a(glxcmds.o)(.text+0x2f1a): In function
`glXGetMscRateOML':
: undefined reference to `XF86VidModeGetModeLine'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [mplayer] Error 1

Any help getting this to compile would be great.
