No, but I'd guess that it contains either fonts or other language-related
material.

I recently installed Xine on SuSE 9.0, and didn't encounter this problem.
I found precompiled binaries for my SuSE version, and used those.

I went here: http://xinehq.de/ and found the link to the SuSE binaries
which led here:

http://cambuca.ldhs.cetuc.puc-rio.br/xine/

Here's a cut&paste from that page, but the links won't be valid here, so
do visit the page....the page and the FTP server are in Brasil!

Daily xine RPMS

This is an "unofficial" xine release. "Unofficial" just because the xine
project does not officially distribute any binary or compiled packages.
xine is free software and the source code is always available and licensed
under GPL.

The provided RPMS are built automatically everyday from xine's Sourceforge
CVS. This is all you need to play DVDs in linux (with full menu support)
and the other media formats xine can handle. For more information please
check the xine homepage.

 The xine developers do not support CSS descrambling. The use of this
 software for watching your legally purchased DVDs may be illegal in your
 country.

You need to install libdvdcss rpm besides xine-lib and xine-ui. Without
libdvdcss you won't be able to watch encrypted DVDs, that is, most of
them.

If the files below are some days old that means cvs changes have broken my
daily building. Also note that sourceforge public CVS access is getting
worse everyday, and if the scripts cannot get the latest version, packages
won't be updated.

These rpms are build in a RedHat Linux 7.3 server. Some care is taken to
keep them portable across different distros, so they should also work on
RH 7.x, 8.0, 9.0, Fedora, Mandrake, Suse, Conectiva...

Important notes:
 
ALSA 0.9 is statically linked to keep dependencies low.
 
Ogg/Vorbis version 1.0 is also statically linked. Warning: statically
linked ogg support was broken until 08/Apr/2004. The newer RPMS should fix
the issue.
 
 
To watch asf/avi files encoded with win32 dlls just install w32codec rpm.
Version 0.50 includes the old Video for Windows (vfw) codecs and Windows
Media Video 8 (WMV8). Version 0.51 adds WMV9 codec. Version 0.52 also
includes Quicktime 6 codecs. these codecs will be used by xine as needed.
If that wasn't clear enough:

    w32codec-0.50: vfw+acm+ds
     w32codec-0.51: vfw+acm+ds+dmo     w32codec-0.52:
 vfw+acm+ds+dmo+qt6
 
If you install the RealPlayer8/9 rpm you will be able to watch Real
Networks streams (.rm). xine plays Real streams with less cpu utilization
than RealPlayer itself and works on sound cards without 44.1Khz support.
 
libdvdcss 1.2.8 provided here is patched with network support. this makes
possible to watch dvds from a remote dvdrom drive. check
xine-lib/doc/README.network_dvd (ignore the steps to build 'cdda_server'
as the same utility is included here as 'dvdcss_server').
 
A new library (libcurl, provided by the curl rpm below) may be required to
install xine-ui. This will enable the new download skin feature
(control+d). note that curl is already provided by several distributions.
 
libpng is now statically linked to keep dependencies low.
 
 
 
Step by step info to run xine

 
You need to download the xine engine (libxine). Get the libxine rpm which
more closely matches yourCPU:

  libxine1-(version)-xxxxxx.i586.rpm for Pentium/Pentium MMX
  libxine1-(version)-xxxxxx.i686.rpm for Pentium II/III/IV
  libxine1-(version)-xxxxxx.k6.rpm for AMD K6
  libxine1-(version)-xxxxxx.k7.rpm for AMD Athlon
  
  
 
If you don't know your CPU just get the i586 package.

 
Download curl library. Some distros ship older versions, but xine-ui
requires at least version 7.10.

curl-7.10.3-1.i386.rpm http library (used to download skins)
 curl-devel-7.10.3-1.i386.rpm get this if you ever need to recompile
 xine-ui.
 
 
In case of trouble visit curl main download page.

 
Download xine-ui:

 xine-ui-(version)-xxxxxx.i586.rpm for any CPU.
 
 
Install the packages (you need to be root):

# rpm -U libxine1* xine-ui* curl*

 
If you want full DVD support download and install libdvdcss:

libdvdcss-1.2.8-1.network.i386.rpm

 
By default, xine expects to find your DVD-ROM at /dev/dvd. Creating a
symbolic link to your device is recommended (for example, /dev/hdc or
/dev/scd0). The command below should work for most users:

  # ln -s /dev/cdrom /dev/dvd
  
  
 
If you want full Windows Media Video and Quicktime support download and
install:

w32codec-0.52-1.i386.rpm

 
If you want full Real Media support download and install:

RealPlayer9-9.0.7.151-4.i386.rpm newest version, or
 RealPlayer8-8.0.3.412-5.i386.rpm older version (if you have problems
 instaling RealPlayer9) obs: Depending on your distro, you might need
 /usr/sbin/update-alternatives

Type 'xine' at your console window and enjoy...

 
To try an experimental Netscape/Mozilla plugin using xine to play embedded
videos, download and install:

xine-mozilla-plugin-(version)-xxxxxx.i586.rpm xine plugin for
Netscape/Mozilla.
 
 
This plugin was not officialy released, it might hang/crash/freeze/burn.
in case of trouble just uninstall.
