okay, so i downloaded my tarball and unrolled it with the tar xfvz command... but now when i go to the directory i just created xine-lib-1.0 and try to run ./configure the terminal runs thru a buch of "checking this...checking that..." and at the end it returns the following error: configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in path i'm running commands per the tutorial http://xinehq.de/index.php/faq#BUILDING of course i will keep searching for answers but i thought i'd try here since i've had great results with this community. thanks and happy hacking!
