Hello all! I'm new to the forums, been using Linux for a long time now though. I feel kind of dumb for asking this question, but it has exhausted me the past day searching for answers.
I went to update my xine, as well as include all the codecs in. I used the source code to compile xine-lib-1.1.4, xine-gui.0.99.4.
Upon attempting to run xine, I get the following problems. And it immediately closes xine.
Code:
amen-ra@the-root:~> xine
xiTK WARNING(xitk_set_locale:2182): locale not supported by C library
This is xine (X11 gui) - a free video player v0.99.4.
(c) 2000-2004 The xine Team.
Cannot open display 'nknown flag "%s"
' for video. Falling back to primary display.
So I tried to recompile back to xine-lib-1.1.2, and I still get the same message from xine.
It seems to not install any video plugins or drivers.
And amarok says that it can't even initialize any audio drivers from xine! (although it appears they are in usr/local/lib/xine/plugins/1.1.4/) see below-
I'm using ALSA 1.0.13-22.
NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-1.0-9755-pkg2.
Xorg, version 7.1.99.902 (7.2.0 RC 2) Everything worked great before. This load is an OpenSuSe10.2, AMD 64 4200, nvidia 7900, nforce hda audio.
Mplayer, realplayer, helix, all work fine.
If anyone could help me out, I'm sure there's just some flag I have to throw at xine in order to make this sing, I'm just not sure what.
Thanks
in configure xine, I get the following driver plugins to be installed :
[ good ] you're using Linux, doing specific tests
[ good ] looks like you have a /proc filesystem mounted.
[ good ] You seem to have a reasonable kernel version (2.6.18.2-34-default)
[ hint ] Architecture is x86_64 (not intel), assuming there is no MTRR.
MTRR (Memory Type Range Registers) are used on intel CPUs to
control caching mechanisms for special memory ranges. There is
probably nothing like this on x86_64 CPUs...

[ good ] /dev/cdrom points to /dev/hda
[ hint ] /dev/dvd is /dev/dvd, not a DVD device
/dev/dvd is the default device that xine uses for playing DVDs.
You could make your life easier by creating a symlink named /dev/dvd
pointing to your DVD device (something like /dev/scd0 or /dev/hdc).
If your DVD-ROM device is /dev/hdb (slave ATAPI device on primary bus),
rm /dev/dvd
ln -s hdb /dev/dvd
typed as root will give you the symlink.
Alternatively, you can configure xine to use the real device directly,
using the setup dialog within xine, but I can't check your DMA
settings in that case...

(I tried to append to my previous message, but it was too long)
Here's there errors make gave me while compiling:
Is missing cucul and caca headers, causing this problem? Any of this related?(tried --without-caca)I only have use of this computer for a short time, and I've never had any problems like this, with xine before. Something makes me think its the AMD 64bit SuSe load. I have a couple other machines running 10.2, but are just athlon xp's, and they had no such problems..
Thanks a lot!!

Well I got a step further..Or backwards, not sure yet. I found and compiled libcacas. Apon make xine I had several hundred errors. But now It compiles video and audio output plugins! but xine still crashes.. Here's the verbose output(truncated):

blah, I give xine the -V flag, and it ignores it. I don't know where the problem is, obviously wasn't libcacas, haha. I can run and utilize the xine-engine with other programs EXCEPT xine.
Any suggestions?
