I encounter problems to read correctly a DVD on my laptop Acer-Ferrari-4000 under Suse 10.2, this hardware runs with an AMD-Thurion-64bits processor and a graphical card ATI Radeon X700, DMA mode is set on UltraDMA/33. Xine/Caffeine is unable to read a commercial DVD because of presence of pattented file formats on the DVD; Totem is apparently unable to detect the presence of the DVD; so I decided to see if ogle is more able to help me (this is true for another laptop 32bits for which i confirm ogle works very well) To install this application on 64bits mode,I definitively prefer to compile libraries and the application, instead of using RPM's; but when doing make install I have following error in ac3 module:
I have to ask why do you prefer manually compiling libraries and applications instead of using precompiled RPMs? Not just the convenience factor, but also that using RPM will at least keep the RPM database consistent in terms of what is actually present on the system and help with any subsequent dependencies...
Making install in ac3 <snipped> Any suggestion? Or do you know any other DVD-player application under Linux?
Ignoring that 10.2 is quite old now, and definitely has an outdated/slower package management stack than 10.3 and incredibly outdated/slower stack than 11.0. You're probably best off pointed at the packman repository for the necessary libraries and applications. Xine/Kaffeine needs xinelibs as shipped with SUSE 10.2 replaced with libxine1 from packman, and you'll also need libdvdcss2 installed to decrypt (and play) commercial DVDs. You can find details of the packman repository at packman.links2linux.de (for the German site) or packman.linkslinux.com. Ideally, you want to add the repo to your package manager e.g. http://ftp.skynet.be/pub/packman/suse/10.2/ Other possibilities include MPlayer and possibly vlc.
