What command do I use to fix ./configure problem?
hi all
I've been struggling for days with this problem, and before you ask yes I've searched everywhere for a solution!! I'm trying to install Xine to play my DVDs but am having problems following the instructions at http://www.xinehq.de/index.php/faq. I've downoaded and unpacked the xine-lib tarball as instructed and then issueed the commands: ./configure make install This all seemed to work Ok and a search shows Xine-lib to be installed at: /usr/src/packages/BUILD/xine-lib-1.1.1 on my system (Suse 10.0) OK, then I unpacked and tried to instal the Xine frontend, xine-ui but when I issued the command ./configure i had lines and lines of installation messages, followed by the final error message shown below: Quote:
I'm still a newbie, but the message is clear and the helpline at Xine's homepage warns of this problem and says that: Quote:
This is the bit I don't understand - what exactly do i use in the prefix command? I tried ./configure --prefix=/usr/src/packages/BUILD/xine-lib-1.1.1/bin and ./configure --prefix=/usr/src/packages/BUILD/xine-lib-1.1.1/misc and various other commands, but still get the same error message. My xine-config file can be found at /usr/src/packages/BUILD/xine-lib-1.1.1/misc/xine-config I'm sure that i'm nearly there, but i just can't work out exactly what to do. I'd appreciate some CLEAR instructions if anyone can help. Incidentally, I've tried using YAST to install Xine but keep getting messages that i must download win32 codecs firstb which Yast then fails to do. (I've installed thes manually) |
Get the xine rpms from here.

If that's the case then $prefix=/usr/local and you have to follow the instructions given, i.e. run: Code:
export PATH="/usr/local/bin:$PATH" Anyway it's better to use the rpms, from the link provided by reddazz |
Thanks for the offered help.
Redezz - I have tried the RPm's but it always fails to install. yast tells me that I haven't got win32 codecs, and then cant find "win32codec-all-20060611-0.pm" on the update server. However, I do have the win32 codecs installed as Mplayer uses them to play DVDs! If i search Google for the file win32codec-all-20060611-0.pm then no webpages are found? I just don't understand this.... I have more codecs than know what to do with! I have codecs at: /usr/lib/codecs /usr/local/lib/codecs Also at /usr/lib/codecs are other directories with the names codecs;4498721e and nine similar directories with slightly different numbers. Bathory, you write: Quote:
Still very confused........ |
I searched again and found an rpm for the missing codec:
win32codec-all-20060611-0.pm.rpm I tried to install this with Yast and got the following error message: Quote:
What does the error message mean at the end? I've tried this several times with other win32 codec rpms and I'm pretty sure that that is why i have so many differently numbered codec directories at /usr/lib/codecs I'm very very puzzled...... Anyone? |
If you are having problems installing via YAST, why not do it from the command line (#rpm -Uvh somepackage.rpm). The rpms from the xine nightly builds site do not require win32 codecs, so I don't think they are the ones you tried to install. I am guessing, you tried the ones from the packman repo. If you need win32 codecs you can also download them from a packman site and install them manually.

Thanks for the quick reply :)
I tried installing as you suggest and get the same error message: Quote:
Regarding your other suggestion, I'm pretty sure that that IS where I got the Xine rpms from. |
Your package could be corrupt. Try downloading it again from here.
|
Thanks. Tried that... Exactly the same error message!
Mplayer is fine for DVDs, but I would like to find out what I'm doing wrong, or whats going wrong. This rather annoying problem is certainly helping me to understand Linux more, and thats why I'm so keen to find a solution. |
