I am haveing trouble installing xine

i get thtis when I try to complile the ui

*** 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 ***

any help appreicated

what ditro are you running?

and do you have the devel packages installed you will need those if you want to compile from source.

I am running red hat 8 and I have both tar balls

so it clearly states that it hasbn't founf the xine libraries. you didn't even say if you've installed them yet.

save yourself a lot of hassle, use a decent program. http://mplayerhq.hu

just get youre redhat 7.3 disk 2 and look in the rpm folder and find the xine package and double click on it let it install and you're done. unless you did too much monkeying around trying to install it this should work flawlessly.
