Sirs, I just tried to install the very latest avifile-0.7.17-20021101.tgz in my stock Red Hat 8.
The autogen.sh script reported some errors:
-------------------

Please report your problem on [EMAIL PROTECTED]

-----------------------------
Then I switched to root, expecting to have to install in /usr/local, and started configure:

------------------------------------
....but something went wrong.
I went back and did the configure in user mode, but the script failed in the same way.
------------------------------
Then I tried to locate some RPMs. I used these versions.
-rw------- 1 sergio sergio 2937741 Nov 5 18:28 avifile-0.7.16-12.i386.rpmls -la avifile-* divx4linux-20020418-2.i386.rpm xvid-2.1-0.20021002.i386.rpm

Note: rpm of 0.7.17 for RedHat 8 are not available from the site you link in the docs.
Then I installed in this way:
[root@laptopsergio sergio]# rpm -ivh divx4linux-20020418-2.i386.rpm avifile-* xvid-2.1-0.20021002.i386.rpm

---------------------------------------
Now aviplay works.
A little fix for the documentation.
According to the documentation, in order to receive streaming from http://, the option
--url_audio url for audio stream
is nieeded. The problem is that it doesn't work !
After much fiddling, I discovered that it is sufficient to specify the URL on the command line, without options.
For example, to listen a very nice italian-based Internet radio:
aviplay http://www.lifegate.it/radio/live.asx >/dev/null &
Thanks for the work you put in aviplay, it gave me many hours of listening nice music in the background.
Regards,
Sergio
