No, there's no Xine PPC rpm.=20
However, I had this same problem. And I solved by either, adding '/usr/loca=
l/lib' to my /etc/ld.so.conf and then running /sbin/ldconfig. That dir is=
 going to be dependent on where u told to to install xine. The other is w=
hen you compile the gui tell it where u installed xine. ie --with-xine=3D=
/usr/local/xine' I dont remember the exact syntax. [im not on my linux bo=
x].
you can do a './configure --help' to see the syntax of telling it where to =
find xine.

Subject: Compiling Xine?

I have been trying to compile Xine from source so as to watch DVDs in Linux=
.

I failed miserably at it in YDL 2.1.  Today I bit the bullet and=20
zarched my / partition in order to install from scratch (could we=20
please have am upgrade path for the next version?) YDL 2.2.  I=20
thought I had read that Xine came as part of YDL 2.2, but I didn't=20
see it.

So I downlowded and compiled the source for Xine-lib 0.9.9.  I then=20
try and 'configure' the Gnome gui interface and get this:

-----
checking for xine-config... /usr/local/bin/xine-config
checking for XINE-LIB version >=3D 0.9.9... no
*** Could not run XINE test program, checking why...
*** The test program compiled, but did not run. This usually means
*** that the run-time linker is not finding XINE or finding the wrong
*** version of XINE. If it is not finding XINE, you'll need to set your
*** LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable, or edit /etc/ld.so.conf to point
*** to the installed location  Also, make sure you have run ldconfig if tha=
t

***
*** If you have an old version installed, it is best to remove it, although
*** you may also be able to get things to work by modifying LD_LIBRARY_PATH
***
configure: error: *** You should install xine-lib first ***

I've tried everything I know how to do, but I clearly don't know 
enough.  Is there an oh-so-handy RPM for 0.9.9 I could install?
