How to get rid of software that won't work
I've been trying to get a DVD to play now for 5 hours...tired of trying. Using FC4...and was trying Totem. I've probably read every post...tried everything I can think of. The last thing I tried was to install Xine. I downloaded the tarball from the Xine site....unpacked it...did the usual
./config
make
makeinstall
The package compiled OK..and put itself in the usr folder like it was supposed to.....but of course Totem still doesn't play DVDs..same message and now I have this "Xine" on my computer that's not doing anything for me except taking up space. How do you get rid of programs that are installed from source?

Try:
in the source folder. Also, if you want to play encrypted DVD's, you will need libdvdcss. Beware though that libdvdcss is illegal in certain countries. Check that you can use it before you install it.Code:make uninstall

Probably you don't want to uninstall the app but install appropriate codecs instead?

Kaffeine is a good frontend for Xine.
