The easiest way to build xine-lib/xine-ui is the following:

	1.  Remove all traces of previous installs of xine-lib/xine-ui
	    from your system.

	2.  Get the xine-lib-0.9.13.tar.gz and xine-ui-0.9.13.tar.gz
	    tarballs from the DOWNLOAD releases section of:

	    http://xine.sourceforge.net/

	3.  As root, build the libxine0 and libxine0-devel PPC RPMs
	    using the following command:

	    rpm -ta xine-lib-0.9.13.tar.gz

	4.  Install the libxine0 and libxine0-devel PPC RPMs using
	    the following command:

	    rpm -U /usr/src/rpm/RPMS/ppc/libxine0-0.9.13-1.ppc.rpm /usr/src/rpm/RPMS/ppc/libxine0-devel-0.9.13-1.ppc.rpm

	5.  Run ldconfig.

	6.  Build the xine-ui PPC RPM with:

	    rpm -ta xine-ui-0.9.13.tar.gz

	7.  Install the xine-ui PPC RPM by:

	    rpm -U /usr/src/rpm/RPMS/ppc/xine-ui-0.9.13-1.ppc.rpm

You should now be able to successfully run xine as a normal user
(tcsh users may have to do a rehash first).  You can also run
xine-check to point out any potential problems with your system
environment for running xine.

To watch encrypted DVDs you will need some additional software
(libdvdcss, libdvdread, libdvdnav, and xine-dvdnav).  Check the
FAQ on the xine web page for instructions about how to obtain,
build, and install this additional software.  This software is
not included with xine because of various potential legal problems.
