help on installing xine

[SantanuRC]

hi
i've downloaded xine-lib-1.1.18.1.tar.bz2 but cann't install on fedora 12.

i'm trying these commands as per the installation guide.

./configure
make
su
make install

but after thses when i'm trying to run xine, getting command not found message.

am i doing any mistake?

I suspect that xine (I suspect this is the name of the executable) wasn't added to your local PATH directory, so just running it from any standard directory won't cause it to run.

Two ways you can try and address this:

1. Look at the documentation for any hints on where it's installed by default (the actual directory)

2. Manually look for where it may be installed. For that, do this:

su root
find / -name xine

This should return all the directories and files with that name. Look through those directories and when you see a file with that name, try and execute it to see if it produces the desired results.

Just install xine-ui. All dependecies will be brought in along with the main package.

su -c 'yum install xine-ui'

[glenn@leonardo ~]$ yum list xine*
