Error: X11 support required for GUI compilation

Check "configure.log" if you do not understand why it failed.

xorg-x11-devel is missing for compilation.

[root@localhost MPlayer-1.0pre6a]#

i tried that cmd gmplayer
[root@localhost MPlayer-1.0pre6a]# gmplayer
bash: gmplayer: command not found

Can't be found if mplayer is not installed / compiled with GUI support.

Do yourself and us a favour and use a Fedora RPM, i.e. by freshrpms.net.

if i try to install the mplayer from freshrpms, ( i have tried) it
fails dependancies
8 of them libaa.so.1
libdvdread.so.3
libfaad.so.0
liblzo.so.1
libmad.so.0
libpostproc.so.0
libpostproc
libxvidcore.so.4

This is why all Fedora users should use Apt-Get. Google it and install and setup a 3rd party repository. Then all it takes is: apt-get install mplayer. And it will get the mplayer package and all its dependancies.
