Subject : 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 BTW, the HOWTO you are using is no longer maintained and so it's deprecated.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: http://xinehq.de/index.php/faq#BUILDREQUIREMENTS Cheers! [Modified by: Shashank Sharma on May 01, 2008 02:33 PM]
