Installing Xine on Fedora 8

This procedure details the installation using the available prepackaged RPMs. The trick is that they're not all in the same place!

Install the main xine libraries (available from the main Fedora repositories):
> yum install xine-lib

Grab the main package and dependencies from RPM Find [1] and RPM pbone.net [2]:
  1. xine (xine-0.99.5-1.fc7.i386.rpm) [1]
  2. xine-lib-moles (xine-lib-moles-1.1.11.1-1.fc8.i386.rpm) [1]
  3. vcdimager (vcdimager-0.7.23-7.fc8.i386.rpm [2]
  4. libdvdcss (libdvdcss-1.2.9-2.fc7.i386.rpm) [1]
  5. libfame (libfame-0.9.1-12.fc7.i386.rpm) [1]
  6. libmad (libmad-0.15.1b-4.fc7.i386.rpm) [1]
Note that on Fedora 8 you need the above version of xine-lib-moles for compatibility with xine-lib.

Install them directly with rpm to avoid the need of disabling yum's signature check:

> rpm -ihv libdvdcss-1.2.9-2.fc7.i386.rpm libfame-0.9.1-12.fc7.i386.rpm libmad-0.15.1b-4.fc7.i386.rpm vcdimager-0.7.23-7.fc8.i386.rpm xine-0.99.5-1.fc7.i386.rpm xine-lib-moles-1.1.11.1-1.fc8.i386.rpm

Another way is to add livna to your list of repositories and do a:
> yum install xine

Didn't try this though...
