So you already had libungif which should have supplied the library mplayer
was looking for, not sure why it wasn't.  Going forward, giflib is the
preferred port these days, so switching from libungif to giflib should
eventually happen anyway.

Though you shouldn't have both libungif and giflib active at the same time,
just use giflib and completely kill libungif, force uninstall it if
necessary.  Though since you did a force activate of libungif, you will
probably have to deactivate/reactivate giflib to get the files back.
