Xine fails to startup, saying an error occured while loading some shared libraries. The first library it fails to load is libxine.so.1 I symlinked that library, then xine fails to load libcurl.so.2. So I symlinked that one as well. Next, xine starts up and fails, saying "all available video drivers failed." I've looked, and this last bit may be related to Bug #56304, but I haven't found anything about those first two missing libraries. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
I can confirm this bug. I think it is related to the use of xorg-x11, because xine-lib-1_rc7 worked fine for me on XFree, i upgraded to xorg-x11 and left xine-lib alone - xine was still working. After I updated some codec packs and other stuff to get wmv9 videos running i tought a recompile of xine-lib could help. Well it didn't - xine-lib is now broken as described in Bug #56304.
quickfix for the "all available video drivers failed." bug: cd /usr/lib/xine/plugins/1.0.0 find . -type f -exec ln -s '{}' '{}.so' \; seems like the `make install` of xine-lib sux or fails somehow? I have no insight why the shared libs are installed without the .so extension. Install of xine-lib is broken anyhow because of the missing (or wrong linked) shared libs libxine.so.1 and libcurl.so.2
It's not strictly an xorg thing, because I am running xfree. Also, all of the codecs and drivers were properly installed into /usr/lib/xine/1.0.0/plugins, but xine just wasn't linked to them. I was reading somewhere that if you emerged X after installing xine-lib, then xine-lib would not be able to find the drivers. I will try to re-emerge xine-lib to see if that fixes part of the problem.
News about this? It should be right now.
feel free to reopen if that problem persists
