Installing xine libraries and xine front end
Hi all,
Im trying to install Xine on Fedora 8.
I have downloaded the latest sources for xine-lib and xine-ui from http://xinehq.de/index.php/releases#binaries
After that I follow the installation instructions on http://dvd.sourceforge.net/xine-howto/en_GB/html/howto-3.html#compiling
./config
make
make all install
ldconfig
The installation of the library goes fine but I run into trouble when running ./configure for the front end ui.
This is what happens
[root@localhost xine-ui-0.99.5]./configure
alot of text
..
..
..
checking for XINE... configure: error: Package requirements (libxine >=1.1.0) where not meet:
No package 'libxine' found
..
..
The build and installation of xine-lib gave no errors and I used the default paths for installation.
Why cant the ui find the xine libraries?

What if you tried a RPM install first and see what happens?

Why are you installing it from source? Just set up the Livna repository and then you can install it using yum:
1. su -c "rpm -ihv http://rpm.livna.org/livna-release-8.rpm"
This installs and enables the Livna repository.
2. su -c "yum install xine xine-lib xine-skins xine-lib-extras-nonfree libdvdcss"
This installs xine with all libraries and you can play DVD/CD/everything.
BTW, the HOWTO you are using is no longer maintained and so it's deprecated. You should always look for the latest instructions on the packages website itself:

Cheers!
