Oh, thanks. I thought you'd found a way to do it from the web interface.

Actually, don't bother with CVS for xine-lib - we've just released 1.1.4.

That could probably be done, using 'user javascript' etc or by configuring
the browser to invoke a shell script instead of directly invoking mplayer.
Either approach is a bit beyond me at present.

You need the X development packages (wherever it is that
/usr/include/X11/xpm.h is kept in your distro).

.... only, you should have failed compilation earlier, in that case, with
the message

source/plugin-ui.cpp:49: error: libXpm has not been found. Compilation cannot continue

I'd recommend compiling that file with -E and looking at the
preprocessed output to see if xpm.h is being pulled in, and if it is,
what's wrong with it.

I located the xpm.h file but thought I'd run 'make' again and check the
output more carefully to see if there were any previous error as you
suggested. However make stopped at some other place (can't remember what
now).

So I decided to re-run configure first. It said it could not find
gtk+-2.0.pc (I could not find this file with Mandriva distro but
fortunately I also had fedora core. Found a copy there and added it to
the PKG_CONFIG_PATH). Now it is saying -
checking for MOZPLUG... Package mozilla-plugin was not found in the
pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `mozilla-plugin.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
Look like I need to get the mozilla-devel package

All in all, this is getting too time consuming ... I'm giving up.
I wished the developers would package all dependencies in the tar ball.
I just want the mantra configure - make - make install.

Thanks for your help just the same.
