Hi,

I am trying to install Xine on Ret Hat Linux ES 4.
I have complied xine-lib succesfully..
However, when I tried to complie "xine-ui-0.99.4" I get the following error

"checking for XINE-LIB version >= 1.0.0... no
*** Could not run XINE test program, checking why...
*** The test program compiled, but did not run. This usually means
*** that the run-time linker is not finding XINE or finding the wrong
*** version of XINE. If it is not finding XINE, you'll need to set your
*** LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable, or edit /etc/ld.so.conf to point
*** to the installed location Also, make sure you have run ldconfig if that
*** is required on your system
***
*** If you have an old version installed, it is best to remove it, although
*** you may also be able to get things to work by modifying LD_LIBRARY_PATH
***
configure: error: *** You should install xine-lib first ***
"

Do I need to install any additional plugin? What to do in this situation?

Please help!!

It probably would be easier to install rpms. You can get the latest xine rpms from http://cambuca.ldhs.cetuc.puc-rio.br/xine/ .

I guess you have to recompile and install a new version of xine-lib. That's the only choice you have to be able to use xine.

Edit: sorry i haven't read reddaz's post. you can use rpms too btw.
Edit2: Can I ask.. what distro are you using?

RHEL 4.x. Its right in the first sentence of the post.

I have run into this compiling Xine in Debian and Ubuntu. See if you have the file /etc/ld.so.conf
If you do add this line to the file:
/usr/local/lib
If you don't, create your own ld.so.conf file in /etc with the line:
/usr/local/lib
Then as root run the command
ldconfig
Now compile xine-ui and it will be able to find the xine-lib that you compiled and is installed at /usr/local/lib
You may want to read this from the xine faq:

I hope this works for you, Xine is a very nice media player.
