yum install xine doesnt work

for some reason yum installing xine doesnt work in fedora 9, 10, 11:

what i do after a fresh install is:

Code:

# su -c 'rpm -Uvh http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-stable.noarch.rpm http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-stable.noarch.rpm'
# sudo yum install xine xine-lib
# cd /usr/lib/codecs
# sudo wget http://www.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/releases/codecs/all-20071007.tar.bz2
# sudo tar -xvjf all-20071007.tar.bz2; sudo mv */* .

but when i run xine i get an error saying that it cant open the mpeg decoder.

is the xine from rpmfusion fubar ?

It could be... have you considered downloading the source and compiling it manually?

The latest xine-lib and xine source code files are available, and I've found that they compile just fine on FC11. So if the packagekit / yum approach is stuffing you around, try downloading the code and compiling it yourself, it should work...

Post again if you need assistance in that regard.

the last time i did that after a fresh live-usb install i ended up with no xine executable

here is the post:

it seems like xine doesnt like me.

Ok, you say there you tried

Quote:

xine-lib-1.1.15

Have you tried xine-lib-1.1.16.3.tar.bz2?

'cause I got xine compiled just fine with

Code:

-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 2606481 2009-02-10 20:06 xine-ui-0.99.5.tar.gz
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7468182 2009-06-21 18:40 xine-lib-1.1.16.3.tar.bz2

on FC11 with the stock kernel..

Also, when you ./configured, did you see ANY errors at all? To slow down the output of ./configure try

Code:

./configure | more

also see

Code:

./configure --help | more

for options - these should work for both Xine and Xine-lib.
