OldSpiceAP 0 Posted July 30, 2004 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! Share this post Link to post
Dapper Dan 0 Posted July 30, 2004 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. Share this post Link to post

martouf 0 Posted July 31, 2004 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 Share this post Link to post

If it installs xine, then doing what I wrote in my last post should open it up. Share this post Link to post
