I try to install mplayer from source, after it done i hit mplayer, command not found. After that i try to install tmsnc and its the same, command not found. I tried bsdsfv too, and there was an error:
make: /usr/bin/install: Command not found
make: *** [install] Error 127
I install these progs from source always, and it was succes always.

You are running Arch Linux? I cannot figure out why you would want to install these applications from source on Arch Linux. The ABS is designed to allow you to rebuild a package with modifications and it remain managed by pacman. You should look at the wiki entries for ABS to determine how to rebuild these packages from source but keep them managed.
That said, it would seem that you are missing the /usr/bin/install command. I'm not at my Arch box currently so I cannot check to see if this path is correct for Arch Linux, but I assume it is probably the same as with most other distros.
Does anyone know what package owns /usr/bin/install?

1.
[~] > pacman -Qo /bin/install
/bin/install is owned by coreutils 6.7-1
2.
Why the hell would you want to install mplayer from source? Arch often if not always has the newest stable (sometimes even unstable ) stuff in sensible yet reasonable tuned packages. It eludes me why you would want to compile mplayer yourself. If you need to, at least use ABS.
Other than that I must ask the same question iBertus already asked: are you even running Arch? Perhaps Gentoo is more to your liking.

pacman -S mplayer

Also, you should look at the path of the binary and compare it with your error-message. Rings any bells?
