Not sure if it will help, but after ./configure, make and make install I
had to do the following.

Download one of the skins, untar it to ~/mplayer/Skin, and rename the
directory it creates within this to default.

Copy a .ttf file from somewhere on your system to ~/mplayer/subfont.ttf,
and set this to be the default font using the preferences when you first
run the gui version. Enter gmplayer to run the gui version.

See http://www.stevesearle.com/tech/fed.core1.ws.html#mplayer for full
details.

Cheers

Steve
