./configure --enable-gpl --prefix=/opt/gmerlin

gmerlins configure scripts will (hopefully) look there first
(if not, I'll fix it) and the rest of the system ignores it.
You can also install other dependencies (like newer ffmpeg versions)
there.

lptplay can then be called with /opt/gmerlin/bin/lqtplay
(or adjust your PATH variable).

For compilation of lqtplay:

 > dpkg -S X11/Xaw/Simple.h
libxaw7-dev: /usr/include/X11/Xaw/Simple.h

Then rerun configure and it should be built.

Neither mplayer not ffmpeg need libquicktime.
