Troubleshooting

---

If you should encounter difficulties while the installation process one of the following errors:

• libavcodec/x86/h264_deblock_sse2.o: could not read symbols: Bad value
  collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
  .
  xine-lib-1.2 base64.h: No such file or directory
  .
  segmentation fault
  .
  

  then you probable have ffmpeg, xine and/or the xine-ui already installed.
  Perform a

  dpkg -l | egrep "(xine|ffmpeg)"

  and remove the packages with aptitude remove.

• check your xine-ui version and the used xine-plugins:

  xine --verbose=2 --list-plugins

  Look out for old (not removed) xine libraries in /usr/lib/xine* and /usr/local/lib/xine*.
  xine –list-plugins –verbose=2 must indicate eiter the usage of /usr/local/lib/xine/plugins/2.0 or /ur/lib/xine/plugins/2.0. Something different means your xine(-ui) won’t work.
  You could try to workaround like this: (but!…)

  cd xine-ui
  ./configure --enable-vdr-keys XINE_CFLAGS="-I/usr/include" XINE_LIBS="-L/usr/lib/ -lxine"

  …but, please let it be. I’ve managed to shoot me into my foot not only on time 😉
  I wrote the like above more of documentation reasons.
