not able to use xine
 
as installed xine package on fedora9 is not playing mp3, have uninstalled it and installed it from the xine-lib from xine website
it has installed it in /usr/local/bin
have added an inpur in /etc/ld.so.config for that directory but my pc is not finding xine-lib by rpm -qa|grep xine and when i log in my home directory i get a message "not able to use xine multimedia backend , shared libraries can't be found
any clue ??

Not having a Fedora at hands right now I can't give precice directions, but basically you need to install the Xine package (xine backend, maybe some user interface to it if you already don't have) and then the appropriate libraries that contain the required codecs. The codecs for formats such as mp3 aren't included by default for a variety of reasons which you'll easily find if you care to search a little (Fedora site should have information about that), but since it may be possible that you can legally use them in your country, they should be available in some package reposity---probably not the default/main reposity, but some extra repo maybe. I think the packages are xine-lib-something, and once you enable the reposity that has them, you should be able to find them with the rpm query command, or by using the graphical software installation interface ("Add/Remove"?)

The packages are available to you as Fedora rpms, I'm pretty sure of that, so there's no need to do any manual installations from source packages or such. The key is to make sure that you're legally safe using the components you're about to install, locate a reposity that has the packages and install them from there.

Xine on fedora rep does not support mp3 and I want to hear mp3 on amorok
anyway I compiled it again "./configure --prefix=/usr" so it was installed in /usr/bin and mp3 sound is now heard
