I've recently compiled a version of mplayer I want to remove but can't get it to leave with sudo apt-get --purge remove mplayer .
Any idea's?

How about pasting the terminal output into the thread?

Two possibilities :-
sudo dpkg --purge mplayer
sudo apt-get autoremove mplayer
but I'd only try that if Synaptic doesn't offer it as a candidate for removal

Thanks, guys! I got rid of it. FYI - since I compiled with 'make install' I had to removed with 'make uninstall' from within the directory.
Thanks again!:)

Just curious as to why you had to compile mplayer when it is in the repos. Was it for the latest version? Next time you want the latest version of any app, just google "PPA vlc" for instance. You will most likely find a webpage at Launchpad that will have the ppa. Then just add the PPA line to your software sources and the app will show up in synaptic and you can install or remove it by traditional means.

I tend to compile any app on getting a security alert rather than wait for the repository to take the official build, if it's one I run. Which in practice usually means the mozilla products and anything with ssh in the title. I get itchy waiting a week once I've seen a zero-day notice even though I know full well I don't go to the seamy underbelly of the web where I might catch something evil, that my opening a shifty email attachment is an unlikely eventuality and that the ports on my computer have been taught from an early age not to answer the door without my permission.

Everything has a specialist vocabulary. Even selling fruit has one. I bet the saggermaker's bottomknocker would have baffled me, I've never knocked the bottom off a sagger. The architectural design of cathedrals would find me handicapped by a prior lack of experience. I happen to have run various Debian-based Linux distributions over the years so the notion of using a specific package called apt-get to bring the latest software updates onto a user machine is vaguely familiar to me. It has options both for installing binaries and for compiling source code, the first is quick and the second is more roundabout. People using the compile option usually have a reason for doing it that way. People with experience of Debian-based Linux are no more or less ignorant than the rest of the population but they're entitled to wonder why someone took the long way round, they might learn something from the answer. "Dumb" isn't implied by not knowing why a question has relevance in an area this arcane.
At a low level of anything there's complexity. At a high level there's simplicity. Computer processing only has four logical structures, for example - that's a high-level statement and it's interesting to discuss. Apt-get has thirty command line options and they're extremely uninteresting regardless of how useful they might be in specific situations. I get a lot more fun out of discussing high-level in any field, it provides illumination instead of murk.
Some subjects like Biology seem, to my uninformed eyes, to be entirely low-level. Without enough vocabulary it seems impossible to talk about it at all. I find that frustrating. I even blame the biologists for my inability to join in. Quite likely it is their fault in fact, they've failed to differentiate levels of complexity in their field and treat every aspect at as detailed a level as possible instead of creating a hierarchy of function. Physics and Chemistry, on the other hand, have layered concepts. Subjects in the Humanities have entirely arbitrary rules that can be overturned without reference to reality which would leave me both frustrated and annoyed.
Is that more helpful?

Sorry for not reading this thread again to see you requested an answer, Spot.
The reason I didn't bring the source down with apt-get is because I wanted the latest release of mplayer for watching mlb.tv. the program I use is mlbviewer. The player in the respo's was not the latest version so I took the source from svn. During the build process I left out some drivers so I needed to rebuild the player, but first I needed to get rid of the first one I had compiled. I mistakingly thought that since it was mplayer and in the repo's but just a later version apt-get would be the way to purge it. As I previously stated, I had to do 'make uninstall' instead. Live and learn, right!
Sorry for not explaining that sooner.
