Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide
This guide was created as an overview of the Linux Operating System, geared toward new users as an exploration tour and getting started guide, with exercises at the end of each chapter.
For more advanced trainees it can be a desktop reference, and a collection of the base knowledge needed to proceed with system and network administration. This book contains many real life examples derived from the author's experience as a Linux system and network administrator, trainer and consultant. They hope these examples will help you to get a better understanding of the Linux system and that you feel encouraged to try out things on your own.

You will need to download the library packages also. The http://rpm.pbone.net is the best place to find them. If you want to play you DVDs or MP3s, then choose the packman packages. For example:

Im sorry, isnt the library included when i compiled the src.rpm? Im not really that good at rpm based systems.
Also i downloaded and installed the packagees off of packMan, is there a way to add them as a resp. for yast to use?
I didn't realize that was the case. Where did you find the source? I don't know if these libraries are indeed included or not, so you will want to check.
Another thing to try is to execute "sudo /sbin/ldconfig". Sometimes an installation installs a new library path but doesn't run ldconfig.
The problem is that Suse supply a crippled version of Xine (Kaffine is a front end for the Xine player), which won't play encrypted videos, even when the codec libraries are installed.
You need to update Xine with a version direct from the Xine website (http://xinehq.de), that doesn't include Suse's modifications.
