Also, I could not get the Xine movie player for the linux .I had tried from the "freshrpms.net" and downloaded the .rpm file .But it give error on trying the command >>>> rpm -i xine-lib-1-beta8.rpm Please help in getting the xine package and also guide me correctly for installing the .tar.gz format packages.
