[plug] Xine help needed

[John Knight]

Jugdging by all the advice given containing the text *mdk* and *rpm*, I can 
give a bit of advice, jsut compile it from source, xine isn't very hard to 
compile, fairly simple configure, make, make install deal. Go to xinehq.de 
and get the xine-lib and xine-ui tarball, first install xine-lib and 
xine-ui. You may want to get rid of those pesky rpms though, they may get in 
the way of the scripts and certain libraries. Given all of the problems 
you're having getting the right packages though, I'd say it's quicker and 
easier to just compile it, plus the added benefit of a fully optimised 
package. :)

"...it was brilliant, there was three up against a thousand, and boy, did we 
give those three heaps!"
