Compiling software often requires root access. Type

$ su

 

and log in as root. Then try

$ sh configure

$ make

$ make install

 

or whatever the compile commands are for Xine player. IF you aren't logged in as root its probabily looking for access to libraries or source codes that aren't avaliable as anyone but the root user.

 

Good luck!

S2001LTD I can't remember which distro you are using. If it's RPM based, you need to install Xine with an RPM to make your life with Linux much more enjoyable.

oldspiceap: actually, the unpacking and compilation of a tarball is best done

as a regular user. root privileges should be needed only at install time.

 

for instance:

(as regular user)

$ ftp tarballhost.org

$ tar xzvf tarball.gz

$ cd tarballdir

$ ./configure

$ make

$ make -n install

(rinse and repeat if you're not happy with the results or the

destination for the install or the included program options)

.

.

(now that you're happy with it all)

$ su

Password: seekret

# make install

# exit

$ tarballname

Open a terminal and become root:

 

su [enter]

Enter password [enter]

 

Then:

 

urpmi xine [enter]

 

Tell me what it says when you do that. If it installs xine, then doing what I wrote in my last post should open it up.
