michael's right. he already has libxine installed - version 1.0.0 - likely
from  distro package - he should USE his distro to upgrade - if possible. going
and getting source then installing will then probably result in 2 libxine's
(one in /usr/lib and one in /usr/local/lib) unless he knows just what he's
doing and is careful - and will just create lots of problems.

 Well, I guess the project homepage still is the authoritative source for 
 a package. He didn't specify the distro or mention whether he wanted 
 ready-made packages or source code. Btw., there are a lot of links to 
 binary packages for various distros on the homepage. Would have been 
 polite to point him in that direction too, imho.

why did he know so little about his own operating system that he didnt just
FIRST check his own installed packages. rpm -qa | grep xine. dpgk -L | grep
xine (the lib at the front obviously implies its a library and thus probably
can be dropped in any search - disfferent distros have differing package naming
conventions. debian insists all library package be called libsomething. redhat
does not and may call it xine-lib or whatever).

the answer here is that roland - you need to study up on your distribution. you
need to have an idea of what is a package, what you may have compiled from
source yourself and where it has gone, or at least to find out. if you are in
the business of compiling stuff (like e17 for example) this is prerequisite
knowledge (much like a university will EXPECT you to be able to read and write
before starting a university course). my suggestion is to get chummy with it.
not doing so will just end up with you eventually making some big mistakes and
having trouble. :)

Ok, just one last remark. My whole point was that one can be educational 
and helpful at the same time.
I already said that I consider this off-topic and I admit that Roland 
could have figured that out for himself, most probably via google. But 
giving the asker a little more information than google.com along with 
the advice that he could've done some research himself first doesn't 
hurt (just like you did above). Ah, well, shouldn't have posted to this 
in the first place.

no need to apologize. it's ok. for an LFS system - i'm just amazed that you
didn't know where your stuff came from and where it was at! (advantages of
systems with package management - they let you know all this as they keep track
of it for you and provide tools to hunt, search, list, update, remove, add
etc.). i only compile a select few things (almost exclusively stuff i develop -
but the odd other thing here and there) and so it's easy to keep track.

just as an fyi - over the past decade or so of having done this whole release
open source software, handle user support email, irc etc. i have seen a LOT of
questions come in that are please help me administer my own system because i
have no clue how ti do it type questions (where does this package come from -
why do i have the wrong version? why does my stuff act strangely because i
installed 2 or 3 different versions of an app or lib in different places and
different parts of the lib or app are being found at runtime/compile-time).

anyway - a reasonably chunk of support time boils down to things unrelated to
the code written and distributed, but to people knowing what it is they are
doing with their own systems (and often we have to guess/divine/stab in the
dark to help because it is their systems, and we can't see them/poke around
etc.).

i know from a user point of view this can be frustrating that we get a bit edgy
helping out with these things - because we would prefer that such prerequisite
experience and knowledge of their system is handled outside of our support
because it is not something we can really fix in code - if it is a problem we
can fix in our code - then it is of interest. :)

so don't take this wrongly - i'm just letting you know that you should always
FIRST check your own system and os - keep your house in order and use support
mechanism from your distribution or google for things BEFORE writing an email
to here - because once emails come in, it involves the time and effort of a
bunch of people other than yourself to help you. if you can help yourself first
- try that :)

anyway - good luck with your lfs stuff - that will be a chunk of hard work to
keep managed and up to date :)

P.S. - take note of the smilies! :)

 then it is of interest. :)
 
 so don't take this wrongly - i'm just letting you know that you
 should always FIRST check your own system and os - keep your house
 in order and use support mechanism from your distribution or
 google for things BEFORE writing an email to here - because once
 emails come in, it involves the time and effort of a bunch of people
 other than yourself to help you. if you can help yourself first -
 try that :)

And every time a user learns to Google before spamming the list with
questions unrelated to the project's code, not only have we helped
save ourselves unnecessary support time, but we've saved other
projects the same.

I agree that this is a bit off-topic, but... although google does turn 
up a lot of hits for libxine (mostly links to distros and all sorts of 
binary packages), the link to its homepage http://xinehq.de (where you 
will find the latest source code) does not show up on the first few 
results pages. That's probably because the correct package name is 
xine-lib. So better try xine-lib on google if you're looking for the 
sources. Just pointing roland to the xine homepage in addition to 
google.com would maybe have been a kind move.

HTH,   Nick.

Distro packages.  Hmmm...packages one can install on one's distro.
Hmmm...  Yes, you're right, very unhelpful.

Yes I found it on sourceforge (surprise) now having fun with dick and 
jane finding out
why my pkg-config is hosed up and can't find libxml2.  Updating E17 is 
always an
adventure. Thats why I am running an old version.

Well, I guess the project homepage still is the authoritative source for 
a package. He didn't specify the distro or mention whether he wanted 
ready-made packages or source code. Btw., there are a lot of links to 
binary packages for various distros on the homepage. Would have been 
polite to point him in that direction too, imho.

If you are on a binary distro, it's most likely because the -devel
package is missing. The pkgconfig .pc files are often included in those.
So.. libxine-devel, libxml2-devel etc..

Cheers,
