Getting Xine to watch DVD

<< < (2/2)

RudeCat7:
I could not for the life of me get xine installed using SRC files.  :(   The last time I had to use ogle, which is really good! But this time I really screwed up the install. Oh well, I seem to be having better luck with Mplayer.

Does anybody have a better explation for getting the
LD_LIBRARY_PATH configured? For Xine?

The library was installed in:
/usr/local/lib

I did a: "export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH"

Then as root I did a: "/sbin/ldconfig" cuz "ldconfig" by itself does nothing.

Then in the /etc/ld.so.conf I added the library path: "/usr/local/lib"

So, xine-ui-0.9.13 still refuses to configure, and says that I need to install the xine libraries first. Which I did. I just don't know how to get the library path configured I guess.

I have read the INSTALL doc and have browsed the web, so if you guys have any ideas to help me understand I would appreciate it.

Please bear with me, I'm a noob, remember?

  :D

Ok, I followed the instructions provided in xine-ui/doc/FAQ_en

I started with xine-lib, I think it required zlib, so I got that installed too.

tar -xvzf xine-lib
cd xine-lib
./configure
make install

Well, I am sure you have done that too.

Then I entered:

%export PATH="/usr/local/bin:$PATH"
%export LD_LIBRARY="/usr/local/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PAHT"

entered /usr/local/lib into the /etc/ld.so.conf file

then I ran ldconfig

which is again what I supposed you have done.

then I just went ahead and install xine-ui:

tar -xvzf xine-ui
cd xine-ui
./configure
make install

and it worked for me. Note that I repeated the installation a number of times as I couldnt get it to work too, then suddenly, everything just falls into place.

My advise would be read the FAQ_en and follow everything thats in there. Thats what I did and it worked for me.


Good luck

BTW, vdub12, where is the NAV button that you are talking about?

Is it the MRL Browser? I am using the xinetic skin.

RudeCat7:
Thanks for the info. Now I need to install AALIB to configure the xine UI.
