can't find xine

The Redneck · 10-05-2006, 09:33 PM

I need some help with installing xine (for dvd playback). I downloaded libxine-dvd, xine-ui and libdvdcss (all RPM's). I opened up Konsole (im running suse 9.2) and typed for each of them individually:
"rpm 'file name'" (I put the REAL file name for each of them)
They all seemed to install correctly, but I can't figure out how to open xine. I've tried running a search, typing "xine" in Konsole as well as typing "whereis xine" (with the last one, Konsole just responded with "xine:")

WHAT DO I DO?

Thanks.

If you're installing from the command line, you probably want to be root, then use 'rpm -ivh <path_to_rpm_file>' to install the .rpm file. If you didn't give it a '-i' in there, it probably didn't install it.

To check if it's actually installed, use 'rpm -qa | grep xine' and see what comes up. If you don't see anything, it didn't get installed.

It shouild be under multimedia in your "start" menu..or you can simply click on a video file, if installed right will come up.
