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?

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 BTW, the HOWTO you are using is no longer maintained and so it's deprecated.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]
