All of these packages are on freshrpms.net in the same place you
downloaded the xine RPMs from (namely, at
http://ayo.freshrpms.net/yellowdog/3.0/ppc/freshrpms/RPMS/).  You
appear to need aalib-1.4rc5-fr1.1.ppc.rpm, libfame-0.9.0-fr1.ppc.rpm,
flac-1.1.0-fr2.ppc.rpm, and xvidcore-static-0.9.1-fr1.ppc.rpm from
there and you should be in business.

I actually compiled mine from sources recently, and it works like a
charm--much nicer than the older version.  If you do so (compile from
sources that is), don't forget as a previous poster said to run
ldconfig after installing xine and before configuring xine-ui.
Besides, libraries install by default in /usr/local/lib when compiling
from sources, if not already included do not forget to add the line
"/usr/local/lib" (without the quotes) in /etc/ld.so.conf before doing
ldconfig.
