Hi there, This won't be rally answer to your question about installing Xine on RH8. I would rather suggest to you to try BLAG distro which is based on RH9, if you can. It is actually RH9 compacted into one CD plus a tons of nice media application which work right out of box. In my case, it was first time Xine work propely for me without downloading any extra codecs and plugins. More info here: http://www.blagblagblag.org/

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.
