When doing .configure at mplayer, I have the following errors:
Error: X11 support required for GUI compilation.
When checking rpm -qi xorg-x11, the package xorg-x11-6.8.12 is found
in my FC3 package.

My question is that what package did I missed in my FC3? I did a full
package installation -- always in my desktop PC.
Is it the xorg-x11-6.8.1-12.FC3.1.x86_64.rpm ? or all the update of
xorg-x11 in http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/3/x86_64/?

Below is the error messeages in details.

Appreciate anyone for any hint and help.

***************************************
Here the error messages from .configure

Check "configure.log" if you do not understand why it failed.
******************************************************
Looking at configure.log, I have this error:
