I run xine on Gentoo, but I have never run RedHat 8. "xine" (aka "xine-ui") is just a GUI, the real processing core of xine is in "xine-lib" (which doesn't have any of the third party libraries that they use). "alsa-lib" and "libasound.so.2" are for using the ALSA sound system. If you have OSS sound, this build of xine might not be able to produce sound on your system. The GLIBC versions sound a little risky (upgrading these might kill your system). Maybe you would be better off downloading from "http://xinehq.de/index.php/releases" and doing a manual install.

Has anyone installed xine on Red Hat 8.0 ? I thought it would be no problem, what with 2.7 Gigs of Red Hat 8.0 software on a 5.9 Gig partition. So I went to: http://freshrpms.net and downloaded: aalib-1.4rc5-fr1.i386.rpm xine-lib-1.0.0-fr0.beta9.1.i386.rpm xine-0.9.20-fr1.i386.rpm The aalib program installed OK, but the xine-lib failed due to 10 missing dependencies. glut, alsa-lib, libfame, flac, xvidcore, libFLAC.so.4, libasound.so.2, libc.so.6 (GLIBC_2.3.2), libfame-0.9.so.0 libpthread.so.0 (GLIBC_2.3.2) I thought the whole idea of a library file was to deal with dependencies, but I'm just old-fashioned. I'd say xine is pretty hopeless, but just incase, has anyone successfully installed xine on Red Hat 8.0 ? Any advice would be welcome.
