Either do:

	1.  Make sure /usr/local/lib (or /whatever/install/dir/lib)
	    is in your /etc/ld.so.conf file and then run ldconfig as
	    root after doing the "make install" for xine-lib, and
	    before starting the build for xine-ui.

or:

	2.  setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH /usr/local/lib	(for csh/tcsh)
	    (or /whatever/install/dir/lib)

	    export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib	(for sh/bash)
	    (or /whatever/install/dir/lib)

	    This just needs to be done before the build of xine-ui.

xine 0.9.10 is supposed to be coming out this weekend.  I was going
to try building some xine PPC RPMs, but I'm not really sure where I
should contribute them to.  Does YDL have a contrib area?
