This doesn't make sense to me. Obviously zlib is installed based on when I try to install it with the rpm, but xine configure says it is needed. Is the latest version of zlib not compatible with xine? What do you think I should do? I once uninstalled zlib and that caused many problems, so I don't want to do that again unless I have to. I could probably avoid problems if I need to .

thanks.

install zlib-devel-1.2.1-70.6.i586.rpm

And I would guess XFree86-devel (or XOrg), too.
