Please help me! My linux experience is about 3 weeks old now and up until now,it has been a comfortable learning curve. I'm having trouble trying to install xine and what I'm looking for is an idiot-proof procedure to install xine! Tried using rpms but I get dependency complaints which leave me baffled  as I don't know the install sequence; tried using apt-get and again no luck as it complains that it can't find the xine-0.9.22-1.fr.i386.rpm package.
If someone could spoon-feed me a fool-proof procedure for me I will be extremely grateful, ie what to get, install sequence, what to look out for etc etc

found the rpm apt-0.5.5cnc6-fr1.i386.rpm then I it installed fine but when I tried this command apt-get update && apt-get install synaptic it failed with errors like these...
Err http://ayo.freshrpms.net redhat/9/i386 release
Temporary failure resolving 'ayo.freshrpms.net'
Failed to fetch http://ayo.freshrpms.net/redhat/9/i386/base/release Temporary failure resolving 'ayo.freshrpms.net'
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
W: Release files for some repositories could not be retrieved or authenticated. Such repositories are being ignored.
W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems
E: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
(I got the instructions from http://www.linuxworld.palos.org/)
Any suggestions are always welcome!
Thanks

After installing apt, you must install synaptic rpm.
It will maybe ask you for another library.
When this is done, you should have a Synaptic icon in your menu SystemTools.
Launch synaptic, and this will be OK.
If not, lauch synaptic (root)
Working with synaptic gui, is much moer confortable than apt command line ;-)
Good luck.

the repository that apt is trying to use is not working you need to change that. go to /etc/apt/ and open sources.list and edit (change) the repository (go to freshrpms and find a list of repository or do a google search for apt for redhat) Then do apt-get update...apt-get -f install...apt-get install synaptic to start synaptic type synaptic at a root promt. and install xine-ui or do apt-get install xine-ui.
good luck
