.XShmCreateImage .XShmDetach .XShmAttach .XShmGetEventBase .XShmPutImage .XShmQueryExtension ... are for the Shared Memory extension of the X server. You can either choose to build it with shared memory or without. I always do it without the performance increase is not really incredible, except on something like a 2x0 machine with the local bus graphics adapter. Just take out "DSH_MEM" in the CFLAGS in the makefile for mpeg_play. There is more information about shared memory link errors in section 1.513. Also, in the module "video.c" for mpeg_play it will complain about not having enough memory to fully optimize one of the loops. You can get around that by specificying "qmaxmem=8000" in your cflags line, BUT, the extra optimization does little good in my tests.
