Ok, I have installed Xine player, the xinelib file and the Win32 codecs. I know where all of these files are but when I run the xine-check file I get the following errors, the first one telling me that the xine-config file is missing. The xine files I run via terminal are in the root/usr/bin folder, while the library folder is located in home/marcus/.xine, but I can't move the library folder into the root folder. If you haven't read my earlier posts I'm new so I don't know how to move the folder using root privelages in terminal. I'm running Mandrake Linux 10.1, does anybody know how I can fix this problem? I just need to know how to configure xine to point to the proper directory for its codec needs. http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y45...xineerror1.jpg http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y45.../xineerror.jpg

Sorry for bumping but I really would like to know how to fix this problem if anybody knows how. Would it work if I logged into the GUI as root and copied the xinelib codecs into the plugins folder?

well, the output suggests to install the devel package to get the xine-config script... this seems like a good place to start.
any reason you've got the libraries in your home directory?
if you don't want to put the plugins into the default directory, you could always delete the /usr/lib/xine/ directory, and then create a link to your xine lib directory:
What distribution are you using? Is there some reason you haven't installed Xine using your distribution's packages (which is what I'm guessing from those locations, given that a normal installation shouldn't put any library files in the user's ${HOME} folder)?
Because what I would suggest is that you dump this seemingly 'borked' install and install the Xine software via your distribution's normal means of package management, but maybe there's a reason you're doing things some other way.
