I managed to compile and install XBMC on Fedora 9!

Here is how:

first install all packages needed.

create symlink:
su
ln -s /usr/lib/mysql/libmysqlclient.so.15.0.0 /usr/lib/libmysqlclient.so
exit


You need to edit these two files:
xbmc/utils/CharsetConverter.h
xbmc/utils/ArabicShaping.h

from

#else
#include <iconv.h>
#include <fribidi/fribidi.h>
#include <fribidi/fribidi_char_sets.h>
#endif

to

#else
#include <iconv.h>
#include <lib/libfribidi/fribidi.h>
#include <lib/libfribidi/fribidi_char_sets.h>
#endif


then you need to copy jpegint.h file

su
cp xbmc/lib/cximage-6.0/jpeg/jpegint.h /usr/include/
exit

and now you can finally do

./configure
make
su
make install
