Unfortunately, when XvMC was introduced into XFree86 a couple of years ago, it had some rather serious design flaws, of which are mainly to blame for the problem you are seeing. libviaXvMC is less a library, and more a XvMC driver for via hardware. If XvMC had been designed properly, it would have had generic interfaces which then automatically loaded hardware specific XvMC drivers depending on what hardware is being used. Unfortunately, they did not do that, and instead it requires every single application to link to every single hardware driver directly, which is fairly insane. ;o) The reason you see the error, is because this driver is not included in xorg-x11, but the mplayer you are trying to install was somehow linked to it, presumeably by someone who built mplayer on a custom xorg-x11 installation. To resolve the problem, you'll either need to recompile mplayer on your system, or you'll need to acquire the libviaXvMC driver separately for the time being. I don't know if that driver is open source or not, but if it is, hopefully it will get included into future Xorg releases. Hope this helps. TTYL
