Xine in Slackware
« on: 16 November 2002, 21:57 »
I've tried to get all the required libs like it says at sourceforge.xine, but it still says it needs something like a GLIBC, what is that?

Has anyone found rpms for Slackware 8.1 or at least a sure fire way to install xine in Slack?  :D
*meow!* I didn't say Linux was easier, I said it was better, Dumbass!

GNU C Library actually, 'lib' isn't a real word.

Anyway, how do you not have glibc? That's... odd. Now, you'd probably be able to find it on your distro's CD. Try to find glibc and glibc-devel - compiling stuff usually needs the devel packages.

BTW, glibc is the standard library package for C. You need it to compile/use most trivial and pretty much all non-trivial C programs.
