Installing Xine Player on Fedora Core 4

After a little struggle I succeeded to install Xine into my system(Fedora Core 4)

I got the rpm files from
http://stentz.freshrpms.net/rpm.html?id=490 for xine library
and
http://stentz.freshrpms.net/rpm.html?id=499 for xine

installation help could be find online on
-----------------------------------------
http://xinehq.de/index.php/faq#BUILDING

Well the instruction which help me out to install

1 first extract the both packages I used the Linux extracter for that
2 go to xine-lib directory and issue(both instructions will take time to execute)
./configure
make install
3 issue( to make sure libxine can be found by the frontend(s).)
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$prefix/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH"
4 issue ldconfig
5 go to xine-ui directory and issue
./configure
make install
6 issue to check whether the application installed or not
xine
(it should launch the application)
7 issue
type xine
(to find where it got installed and make a shortcut by going that directory)

Final words
-----------
-though it run xine on my system but it is running only the mpg and dat files not rmv or other extension .I guess I have to install some drivers for that .later I will continue this work

-see the execution of each command it will tell what to do next.

What I gonna blog here..????

Well I think its important part of software development and webbrowsing that you share ur knowledge with others.Thats what make the net so powerfull source for knowledge.

I realized this after reading the bolgs of my friend Naresh and Nibha. I think it motivates yourself to do good things continuously.I will try to be here regular.
