Well, there are no x86_64 packman xine-lib packages, yet. I tried to build the packman-src.rpm for x86_64 serveral times, but never with success.
Did you also build the packages needed for dependencies?
So I had a look at the SPEC-File that comes with the SUSE src.rpm on the DVD, seems like SUSE applies some extra AMD64 patches to the official xine sources. Would be cool if someone with more packaging experience could provide at least a src.rpm for x86_64.
I have built x86_64 packages from Packman's src.rpms. If you want, and you have the mailbox size, I can either send you the rpms or the src.rpms.
Maybe the easiest way would be to take the SUSE src.rpm from the DVD and edit the SPEC-File so that none of the patches that restrict the official xine source, due to legal issues, are applied. Then a rebuild of xine for x86_64 should work, shouldn't it?
With my previous SuSE 9.1 (64 bit on Athlon 64) as well as SuSE 9.2 (64 bit on Athlon 64) I succesfully built a 64 bit xine from source (xine-lib-1-rc6a and libdvdcss-1.2.7): 1) uninstall the SuSE xine-lib and xine-ui if they were installed already 2) download compile and install libdvdcss if you want to play commercial dvd's (http://developers.videolan.org/libdvdcss/) 3) download compile and install xine-lib (http://xinehq.de/) 4) (re)install xine-ui from the SuSE DVD For compilation I used: ./configure --libdir=/usr/lib64 make su <password> checkinstall Roel Vestjens
I believe it is more than just the restrictions, it is also some needed libraries/packages.
