yum -y install xine.i386

if cannot then i suggest u go to rpm.livna.org get the rpm then install it then proceed again

They are in the livna repo along with k3b-mp3 support.
Code:
1. create new file /etc/yum.repos.d/livna.repo, with the following contents:

[livna-stable]
name=Livna.org Fedora Compatible Packages (stable)
baseurl= http://rpm.livna.org/fedora/4/i386/RPMS.lvn/
#baseurl= http://rpm.livna.org/fedora/3/i386/RPMS.stable
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1

2. Import the GPG-Key for livna
rpm --import http://rpm.livna.org/RPM-LIVNA-GPG-KEY

If you install the child rpm, the parent has to come along. For example:
yum install xine-skins will also install xine. ( less typing )

3. yum install k3b-mp3 xine-skins mplayer

Yum installs xine
 
Hello all,
hey this guy who calls himself horny is just great. His solution to yum not installing xine is just what I needed. I've tried severally to use yum but it doesn't work well, until I used horny's suggestions. Now I can use yum to upgrade, install and do what I like with stuff instead of going root in shell.
Thanks horny.
