xine-lib 1.1.7 RPM
Below are the library and development RPMs for xine-lib version 1.1.7. These have been built a little differently. First, these have been built on Ubuntu Linux, and converted to RPM using alien. Second, I could not quickly figure out how to get only the files tagged for the 1.1.7 release, so this is actually the in-work 1.1.8 release. I ran these builds through some paces, and nothing glaring came out. Be sure to check out the About the Xine RPMs post for more information.
xine-lib — The main xine library
xine-lib-dev — The development xine library (needed if you’re building an interface against xine-lib)
You’ll also need a user interface - as of this release, the most current release of xine-ui is 0.99.5.
(To save disk space, only the current release and two prior releases will be maintained.)

Hello, don’t let the last name fool you…
I thank you for the rpm packages for xine on your site, but for some reason I still cannot get any video players to work on my system - rhl9(2dsk install)2003wrox(red book).
Everything compiled correctly but nothing runs on the system,so what is it that I am doing wrong…?
As for the mplayer,well,my file roller cant read it,so it wont even open.
Should I run a different type of linux other than 9 ?,…If so,then what ?
Any help would be appreciated…Thank you - Richard

I’m not sure, but the Red Hat 9 may be your problem. Strangely enough, that’s the distro I began with.
Anyway, Red Hat has now split their development - the freely-available version is called Fedora (formerly Fedora Core), and the gotta-buy-support-with-it version is called Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
However, RHEL is still open-source, so several organizations have downloaded the sources, stripped out the RH copyrighted stuff, and are distributing them. The one I used to use is White Box Enterprise Linux, which was developed by folks at a Louisiana library system. However, the developer (yes, that’s singular) has said that he sees his activity dwindling. CentOS, by contrast, has a very active team of developers that work on the OS and provide free support through mailing lists. If you want the Red Hat style of Linux, if you want “bleeding-edge”, go with Fedora (http://fedoraproject.org); if you want stability, go with CentOS (http://www.centos.org). (As an aside, the site you’re on now is running on CentOS - that’s what my web host uses on all their machines except, of course, the Windows servers.)
If you’re not tied to the Red Hat style of Linux, you may want to give Ubuntu (http://www.ubuntu.com) a try. It’s “just worked” on every piece of hardware I’ve thrown at it (with the exception of wireless on my personal laptop - but version 7.10 did work with no changes).
Is there a RHL9 64-bit version? I thought that that version pre-dated the Intel/AMD 64-bit chips. The RPMs here will only work on a 64-bit operating system. If it’s 32-bit, you should be able to get RPMs from the xine website itself.
I hope that helps - certainly post back and let me know how you get along.
