Upgrading Totem media player on Mandrake 10

I recently switched back to Linux, and and fairly pleased in the increase in usability.....

however....

I'm trying to upgrade and totem's having none of it...

upon trying to ./configure I eventually get

Code:

checking for nvtvsimple >= 0.4.5... Package nvtvsimple was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `nvtvsimple.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'nvtvsimple' found
checking for backend libraries... xine
configure: error: you need at least xine-lib 1.0rc3c installed !

I KNOW xine is installed, and & least that version or greater...but I dunno how to get ./configure to figure that out.

*sigh*

Usually on Mandrake, when you get an error like this, it means you need to install something off your CD's. The package will be called something like libxine-numbers-mdk-devel.

Eh, you're doing things the hard way so to speak.

Do this:

Add in the urpmi sources.

Go to this great page: http://www.zebulon.org.uk/

And follow the directions for adding the sources.

Once done as root.

urpmi totem

And you are done!
