The version of xine you have installed was not built for Fedora Core 3,
which
includes a later version of libcurl than the system that xine was built on.
You can work around this by either:
1. (preferred option) Installing a version of xine built for FC3, e.g. the version in Dag's repository: http://dag.wieers.com/packages/xine/
2. Installing the old libcurl.so.2 library, e.g.
# rpm -Uvh
http://www.city-fan.org/ftp/contrib/sysutils/Mirroring/compat-libcurl-7.11.2-2.i386.rpm
Thank you for the suggestion. But i have a little problem with that. I tried installing with dags's repository with "yum --diablerepo freshrpms install xine"( i said --disable freshrpms b'cos i have only two extra repo, one is dag & other freshrpms). There was the usual progress messages(the xml progress), then at the end it said "nothing to do". Then tried "rpm -Uvh http://www.city-fan.org/ftp/contrib/sysutils/Mirroring/compat-libcurl-7.11.2-2.i386.rpm";
it returned the following message:
Retrieving http://www.city-fan.org/ftp/contrib/sysutils/Mirroring/compact-libcurl-7.11.2-2.i386.rpm
error: skipping http://www.city-fan.org/ftp/contrib/sysutils/Mirroring/compact-libcurl-7.11.2-2.i386.rpm - transfer failed - Unknown or unexpected error
My DSL line (on which www.city-fan.org is hosted) was down for around 12 hours. It's back up now so give it another try.
