Could someone tell me how to install xine?

I have downloaded what I thought were the right .rpm
but when I run them they say I need more files.

What are the needed files and what is the correct order to install the necessary files?
I have tried reading through the xine faqs but I am not getting the hang of this installation.

I am using Red Hat 8 on an Athlon TBird based PC

I went to the page you indicated.
Downloaded and installed in order from the list.


I now can't figure out where it installed to or how to start the program.

Tried just clicking on an mpg file but it wants me to point to where the program is, still confused!

Do a whereis xine.Mine is in /usr/bin/xine.

or updatedb

then

locate xine

mine goes to /usr/local/bin but i think your distro probbibly puts it in /usr/bin/

the easiest way to get the video players (xine, mplayer, ogle) is to get apt-get from freshrpms.net

Install apt-get
do apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
apt-get install xine
will get all dependencies and install it for you
(make sure you su to root)

Update: figuring out how to watch .mpg video on RH8.

Well everything is back to a fresh install of RH8, due to some technical difficulties.
Looks like I'm gonna have to spend a little more time RTFM.
