Suse 10.0 - Can't locate libdvdcss


I want to thank those who helped me with Mandriva and getting that DVD to work. I, however, am trying out Suse 10.0 as well, mostly seeing what system or systems I like better.

Anyway, as for Suse 10.0, I can't even locate the libdvdcss to get DVD's to work.
Where do I go to install this?

http://developers.videolan.org/libdvdcss/

Here are the sources. For legal reasons, you won't find an official binary package of libdvdcss.

I think I have something to install it onto my harddrive, but I'm so lost. It's saying something like typing --configue -prefix-/usr.
I'm in root, and it isn't doing anything for me.

Do you have "make" and "gcc-core" installed on your system? These are crucial to building anything from source. You should also check the READMEs and INSTALL files that the tarball came with and see what else is needed to install libdvdcss.

I believe so. I checked around for it, if I was even in the right place. I think it said "make- GLU make"
Where would I find out?

Did you run the configure command like this inside the directory that has all the source?
Code:
$ ./configure --prefix=/usr
If you did, you should have seen all the outputs and the last lines that read like this:
Code:
configure: creating ./config.status
config.status: creating Makefile
config.status: creating debian/Makefile
config.status: creating doc/Makefile
config.status: creating src/Makefile
config.status: creating src/dvdcss/Makefile
config.status: creating test/Makefile
config.status: creating config.h
config.status: config.h is unchanged
config.status: executing depfiles commands
If you did, then you are ready to run the two other commands to complete the process, which are:
Code:
$ make
$ make install
The last command, "make install," must be done as root.

Good luck!

Did it for me.

Download from this location

[HTML]http://download.videolan.org/pub/libdvdcss/1.2.9/rpm/libdvdcss2-1.2.9-1.i3ms.rpm[/HTML]

and install this rpm with yast.

Good Luck !

That link no longer exist, and those commands are commands I've tried, and no luck. I was in root, and in the libdvdcss folder.
Should I be somewhere else?

It would probably help if you could share with us what kind of errors you get when you try to run the commands above.

Configure command:

linux:/home/jeremy/Documents/libdvdcss-1.2.9 # ./configure --prefix=/usr
checking build system type... x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
checking host system type... x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
checking target system type... x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
checking whether build environment is sane... yes
checking for gawk... gawk
checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes
checking for gcc... no
checking for cc... no
checking for cc... no
checking for cl... no
configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH
See `config.log' for more details.
linux:/home/jeremy/Documents/libdvdcss-1.2.9 #

When typing in $ Make or $ make install, I just get:

linux:/home/jeremy/Documents/libdvdcss-1.2.9 # $ make
bash: $: command not found
linux:/home/jeremy/Documents/libdvdcss-1.2.9 # $ make install
bash: $: command not found
linux:/home/jeremy/Documents/libdvdcss-1.2.9 #

As for that link, it's no longer available. I just get "404 Page not found"

This means you do not have a C compiler (such as gcc) installed on your system. A C compiler is of absolute necessity if you intend to compile anything. Grab the Mandrake install media and install gcc and related components.

I installed some cc's and gcc;s, rebooted the PC, and now my mouse cursor disappeared again
So I shut off the computer for a while, and later thought of going back on mandrakelinux.
I may get back to it sometime soon. I just don't see why it had to disappear again.

I think the "configure" script for libdvdcss allows you to set the path to gcc. Look for gcc <find / -name gcc>. Also, can you post the output for <./configure --help>?

Oh and please post the output for <find / -name gcc>.

When typing find / -name gcc

linux:/home/jeremy/Documents/libdvdcss-1.2.9 # find / -name gcc
find: WARNING: Hard link count is wrong for /sys/devices: this may be a bug in your filesystem driver. Automatically turning on find's -noleaf option. Earlier results may have failed to include directories that should have been searched.
/usr/bin/gcc
/usr/lib64/gcc
find: /media/floppy: No medium found
linux:/home/jeremy/Documents/libdvdcss-1.2.9 #


When typing ./configure --help

linux:/home/jeremy/Documents/libdvdcss-1.2.9 # ./configure --help
`configure' configures this package to adapt to many kinds of systems.

Usage: ./configure [OPTION]... [VAR=VALUE]...

To assign environment variables (e.g., CC, CFLAGS...), specify them as
VAR=VALUE. See below for descriptions of some of the useful variables.

Defaults for the options are specified in brackets.

Configuration:
-h, --help display this help and exit
--help=short display options specific to this package
--help=recursive display the short help of all the included packages
-V, --version display version information and exit
-q, --quiet, --silent do not print `checking...' messages
--cache-file=FILE cache test results in FILE [disabled]
-C, --config-cache alias for `--cache-file=config.cache'
-n, --no-create do not create output files
--srcdir=DIR find the sources in DIR [configure dir or `..']

Installation directories:
--prefix=PREFIX install architecture-independent files in PREFIX
[/usr/local]
--exec-prefix=EPREFIX install architecture-dependent files in EPREFIX
[PREFIX]

By default, `make install' will install all the files in
`/usr/local/bin', `/usr/local/lib' etc. You can specify
an installation prefix other than `/usr/local' using `--prefix',
for instance `--prefix=$HOME'.

For better control, use the options below.

Fine tuning of the installation directories:
--bindir=DIR user executables [EPREFIX/bin]
--sbindir=DIR system admin executables [EPREFIX/sbin]
--libexecdir=DIR program executables [EPREFIX/libexec]
--datadir=DIR read-only architecture-independent data [PREFIX/share]
--sysconfdir=DIR read-only single-machine data [PREFIX/etc]
--sharedstatedir=DIR modifiable architecture-independent data [PREFIX/com]
--localstatedir=DIR modifiable single-machine data [PREFIX/var]
--libdir=DIR object code libraries [EPREFIX/lib]
--includedir=DIR C header files [PREFIX/include]
--oldincludedir=DIR C header files for non-gcc [/usr/include]
--infodir=DIR info documentation [PREFIX/info]
--mandir=DIR man documentation [PREFIX/man]

Program names:
--program-prefix=PREFIX prepend PREFIX to installed program names
--program-suffix=SUFFIX append SUFFIX to installed program names
--program-transform-name=PROGRAM run sed PROGRAM on installed program names

System types:
--build=BUILD configure for building on BUILD [guessed]
--host=HOST cross-compile to build programs to run on HOST [BUILD]
--target=TARGET configure for building compilers for TARGET [HOST]

Optional Features:
--disable-FEATURE do not include FEATURE (same as --enable-FEATURE=no)
--enable-FEATURE[=ARG] include FEATURE [ARG=yes]
--disable-dependency-tracking speeds up one-time build
--enable-dependency-tracking do not reject slow dependency extractors
--enable-shared[=PKGS]
build shared libraries [default=yes]
--enable-static[=PKGS]
build static libraries [default=yes]
--enable-fast-install[=PKGS]
optimize for fast installation [default=yes]
--disable-libtool-lock avoid locking (might break parallel builds)

Optional Packages:
--with-PACKAGE[=ARG] use PACKAGE [ARG=yes]
--without-PACKAGE do not use PACKAGE (same as --with-PACKAGE=no)
--with-gnu-ld assume the C compiler uses GNU ld [default=no]
--with-pic try to use only PIC/non-PIC objects [default=use
both]
--with-tags[=TAGS]
include additional configurations [automatic]

Some influential environment variables:
CC C compiler command
CFLAGS C compiler flags
LDFLAGS linker flags, e.g. -L<lib dir> if you have libraries in a
nonstandard directory <lib dir>
CPPFLAGS C/C++ preprocessor flags, e.g. -I<include dir> if you have
headers in a nonstandard directory <include dir>
CPP C preprocessor
CXX C++ compiler command
CXXFLAGS C++ compiler flags
CXXCPP C++ preprocessor
F77 Fortran 77 compiler command
FFLAGS Fortran 77 compiler flags

Use these variables to override the choices made by `configure' or to help
it to find libraries and programs with nonstandard names/locations.
