Before running ./configure  --prefix=`kde-config --prefix`, I made sure that all of the dependencies were met using yum.

The only one that the configure script does not seem to be able to find is xine-lib.  (I'm sure it's all there, because I use Xine to watch DVD's.)

Here's the end of the output from the configure script.

I have xine-lib 1.1.7 installed.  rpm -qi and rpm -ql give the following output:

[root@aquarius ~]# rpm -qi xine-lib
Name        : xine-lib                    Relocations: (not relocatable)
Version    : 1.1.7                            Vendor: Dag Apt Repository, http://dag.wieers.com/apt/

[root@aquarius ~]# rpm -ql xine-lib
/usr/lib64/libxine.so.1
/usr/lib64/libxine.so.1.17.1
/usr/lib64/xine
/usr/lib64/xine/plugins
/usr/lib64/xine/plugins/1.1.7
--------------------snip-----------------------

I tried :
[root@aquarius amarok-1.4.7]# ./configure --prefix=`kde-config --prefix` --with-xine  --with-xine-lib-dir=/usr/lib64/
This also failed with the same messages.  Perhaps I've got the syntax wrong.  (I tried some other variations as well.)


I use Amarok on my laptop running Suse 10.2 and my other workstation running CentOS 4.4.
I would love to be able to use it under CentOS 5.
If I can get this to work, perhaps I can work on getting an rpm built and submitted to the repos.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You also need to install the xinelib-dev package, which contains the header files needed for compilation.

Thanks.

I had a feeling that it was something simple that I was missing.

Everything installed smoothly after that.
