thx for your time...

Do you have a compiler installed?

# What compiler version do I have installed
gcc -v
gcc --version

# What is the running kernel and compiler installed
cat /proc/version

If not, you will have to install it. (urpmi gcc)

You didn't install the developmental packages? As root, command:

Hi, I Installed urpmi gcc right before I asked the question...

My version is:
[killah@localhost killah]$ gcc --version
gcc (GCC) 3.3.1 (Mandrake Linux 9.2 3.3.1-2mdk)
Copyright (C) 2003 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

I typed the command urpmi mc too but it didn't help my problem....

Did you read and follow the directions in the INSTALL and README carefully?

Check the config.log generated and see if it offers you any hints.

mc is a suite of tools that are handy to use in the command line. See the links I posted associated with it for details.

What happens if you command:

urpmi xine

it says

[root@localhost killah]# urpmi xine
The following packages contain xine:
libxine1
libxine1-devel
xine-aa
xine-arts
xine-dxr3
xine-esd
xine-flac
xine-gnomevfs
xine-plugins
xine-ui
xine-ui-aa
xine-ui-fb
xinetd
xinetd-ipv6
[root@localhost killah]#

sorry what dor you mean by those tools?? i'm a very very noob in linux
sorry...

Ps you can find my config.log file on http://users.pandora.be/killah/config.log

because I don't understand the code...

thx
Pieter

urpmi is Mandrake's command line software management tool.

All You Ever Wanted to Know About Urpmi But Never Dared Asking Before

Apparently you are attempting to install xine. There are pre-built packages available according to the output of the command you used, so I would guess that the software manager would install xine for you rather than you attempting to build all the stuff needed since you are just starting.

I suggest that you visit here:

Easy urpmi config for Mandrake

and configure your urpmi tool. Then the internet sources of software will be added to the CDs (what urpmi is aware of now).

Once it is configured, you can open the mandrake control center, go to the software management area and easily install xine that way.

In the command line, urpmi xine-ui xine-plugins should do the trick for you.

Hi I've done with the urpmi commands...

Then i've tried to go the mandrake console but again there is an error.....

Here you find a scrrenshot:

after that I've tried to do the commands again and look...

[killah@localhost killah]$ su

I don't have much hope left
