Have you installed a C compiler?
Which distro is this? FC3 or Solaris?

No C compiler installed. How and where to install it ? This is FC3

yum install gcc

maal - he's using fedora core three ... he's going to have to point his yum.conf at the fedora legacy project first. gcc is also available on the install dvd...

However - I will suggest you (DanielTan) upgrade the entire distro to at least FC5 and read the fedora faq. When you take on fedora you understand you are taking on a rapid-development distro which will have a major release every six-eight months. Your distro will be out of date pretty quickly.

Also look at www.mjmwired.net for the install notes.

On the Xine Player - there are several... they can be installed via yum, i.e.

yum install totem-xine

ok i've installed gcc and extract xine, then i ./configure and then what else i need to do ? i'll soon upgrade it.

I tried yum install totem-xine but it didnt work.

Sorry for posting many times but I got some error like zlib and libjs not found when i use ./configure . Why ?

When a package doesn't install because of missing dependencies, it is just as the error message says. You need to install more packages.

You might try going to the http://rpm.pbone.net website. Select "Advanced Search", clear all of the items, and then click on "Fedora Core 3". Now you can search for totem-xine. Click on one of the links. The next page will also show all of the dependencies. You can also use the site to examine your system and tell you which dependencies your still need. Clicking on one of the dependcies listed will take you to the package that supplies it.

Another option is to use the web address to one of the packages to locate a repository that you can add, and then use yum to install xine-totem and the dependencies.

Did you visit the fedora legacy site like I told you? Did you use their suggestions for setting up yum to use their repositories?Because zlib and libjs are not installed... that's why.

Please consider the advice in our other thread, I think you should just install a recent distro before worrying about your incomplete server-install FC3. Then you will find yum will work.

All your problems are related - you are using a legacy OS which is not installed correctly. Correct the installation, your problems will go away (to be replaced by new and interesting problems for your entertainment )

(Aside)
Lets see, we're neighbors: I should be able to do this...
Membetulkan sistem pengendalian anda.
Puki mak! - that can't be right! Oh well - Saya teruji...

jschiwal, when it shows all the Requires list (check requires button) are they the dependencies and everyone should be in the system ? Do i have to click on every dependencies to check whether my system have or not ?

Simon, yes i did configure yum.conf accordingly point to the Fedora Legacy site server. But when i use yum install totem-xine, the result is
Parsing package install arguments
No Match for argument: totem-xine
Nothing to do

Drat - then totem-xine isn't in their repository.

You'll need a gui frontend for yum to see what they do have. (yum install yumex ... maybe?) But your best bet is still to reinstall.

yum install yumex also cannot. It just need the libjs (java script) and zlib but after i download several rpm , it still cannot recognise it. any idea ?

Is this still the old server installation of FC3?
