installing xine player in RH9
 

Hey I'm having a little trouble installing this MP3 player Xine, or Oxine, anyway after extracting and ./configure the instructions say to run "make file" but it gives an error. Here is the latest of what I've tried: (The installation instruction file just says to run freeamp by typing freeamp)

[viper@localhost viper]$ su
Password:
[root@localhost viper]# ls
alsaplayer-0.99.76 firefox08-linux.tar FreeAmp-v6 open1.1install
config.log flash6 newbie journal.doc openoffice11.tar
firefox freeamp6.tar office1.1 progz
[root@localhost viper]# cd FreeAmp-v6
[root@localhost FreeAmp-v6]# ls
bin lib share
[root@localhost FreeAmp-v6]# cd bin
[root@localhost bin]# ls
freeamp
[root@localhost bin]# freeamp
bash: freeamp: command not found
[root@localhost bin]#


Any clues? Thanks.

Not sure if you are running all the commands, but the sequence is:
./configure; make; make install
Did you do those? I am not sure about "make file" I have never done that.
If so, the program would be installed in /usr/local/bin by default. This might not be in your path

I'm an idiot, it's the wrong prog, here is what is happening

I read the read mes and i don't know what to do about this error

try
which xine
this should tell you where xine is actually installed,usually /usr/bin.....
then
from oxine directory
./configure --prefix=/usr
this should allow configure script to find out xine binaries and libraries correctly.
then make && make install as usual.
Or do a search on internet for a oxine rpm file
Hope this helps
Ciao

If you have xine installed from an .rpm you need too make sure you also install the development files. That is what configure is looking for, not the binary installed xine.
