I've found and downloaded the latest xine. It was only available as a tarball (tar.gz) (Reason for not using the default version: I don't want crippleware! I want to actually *watch* my DVDs.... I can understand SuSE's reason for the business decision, but...) To get things working right, I went ahead and got both xine-lib-1-rc2 and xine-ui-0.9.22 and uninstalled the versions of xine-lib and xine-ui that came with the system. I am running SuSE 9.0. This is a new install on freshly partitioned and reformatted hard drives. Dual-boot system, with Windows also freshly installed. (Shouldn't matter for this, but just in case...) In going through the documentation on the xine website, I see that I can directly make it into a rpm for install. (Unfortunately, that feature doesn't seem to work. "make" doesn't seem to like the necessary flags.) So after su root, I follow the instructions and uncompress it, run ./configure and then make INSTALL. I install the xine-lib, with only minor difficulties. (I had to resolve some dependency conflicts, but it was a realitively easy process. It tolf me exactly what I was missng, and I installed 'em.) So now I go and decompress xine-ui. Run ./configure and I get: *** The xine-config script installed by XINE could not be found *** If XINE was installed in PREFIX, make sure PREFIX/bin is in *** your path, or set the XINE_CONFIG enviornment variable to the *** full path to xine-config configure: error: *** You should install xine-lib first *** Can someone translate this into English for me? Is there a set location I should be installing things from? (In this case, I just used /home/krikket/donwloads, which is where I dumped the tarball after downloading. Was this a mistake?) Thanks again! Krikket
