- MPlayer crashed. This shouldn't happen.
It can be a bug in the MPlayer code _or_ in
your drivers _or_ in your
gcc version. If you think it's MPlauer's fault,
please read
DOCS/HTML/en/bugreports.html and follow
the instructions ther. We cant't and
won't hwlp unless you provide infromation
when reporting a possible bug.

If you can, I strongly recomend installing MPlayer from the CVS snapshot on their website, as they almost always work. Just make sure you add the --enable-gui option when running configure.
EDIT: I'm also using the nVidia drivers, maybe you forgot to install a skin for the GUI?

i put a skin in a few places where i thought it was looking for one like /usr/local/share/mplayer/Skin. then i tried /usr/local/share/mplayer/Skin/default. then i tried /usr/local/share/mplayer/Skin/default/skin. nothing worked. im trying blueheart for my skin. all i have to do is past the folder in the right directory right.

Try adding the "skin=blueheart" line to the $HOME/.mplayer/gui.conf file.
When you extract the skin, just extract it to /usr/local/share/mplayer/Skin , and rename the new directory "blueheart"
It might also help to use the actual skin called "default" from MPlayer's website, at least untill the GUI actually runs so you set a different skin more easily.

U-Turn

On first launch, MPlayer looks for a skin named "default". You can either change this in the ~/.mplayer/gui.conf file, as was suggested, or create a symlink from /usr/local/share/mplayer/Skin/BlueHeart to /usr/local/share/mplayer/Skin/default.
In your OP, the error was also complaining about no fonts. You'll notice that the font tarball contains about 4 or 5 directories which contain fonts. You need to extract the contents of one of these directories to /usr/local/share/mplayer/fonts in order to get MPlayer-gui to launch.
