okay, so i downloaded my tarball and unrolled it with the tar xfvz command... but now when i go to the directory i just created xine-lib-1.0 and try to run ./configure the terminal runs thru a buch of "checking this...checking that..." and at the end it returns the following error:
configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in path
i'm running commands per the tutorial http://xinehq.de/index.php/faq#BUILDING
of course i will keep searching for answers but i thought i'd try here since i've had great results with this community.
thanks and happy hacking! Chris
---- seems to me that if you have to ask about C compiler, you would be far better off using one of the repositories to handle the installation and all dependencies - it's rather simple.

sort of gets there... get yum configured or use install apt
and something like a 'yum --enablerepo=dag install xine'
a whole lot simpler
Now if you really want to install via tarball and deal with all that, you will need things like gcc (on my FC-3 system) # rpm -qa|grep gcc libgcc-3.4.2-6.fc3 gcc-gnat-3.4.2-6.fc3 compat-gcc-8-3.3.4.2 gcc-3.4.2-6.fc3 gcc-g77-3.4.2-6.fc3 compat-gcc-c++-8-3.3.4.2 gcc-java-3.4.2-6.fc3 gcc-c++-3.4.2-6.fc3
