Errors while compiling mplayer

[p!=f]

You miss some development packages. Try this to correct it.

Code:
--------------------
    
  sudo apt-get install x-dev x-window-dev libgtk-dev libglib-dev
  
--------------------

For building the package forget on checkinstall. ;) There's already
debian directory so MPlayer sources are "build-my-debian-package"
ready.
Build the deb package by

Code:
--------------------
    
  fakeroot debian/rules binary
  
--------------------

or

Code:
--------------------
    
  sudo dpkg-buildpackage -D -uc -us
  
--------------------


Hope it helps.
