Uiteraard lukt dat niet:

*** Could not run XINE test program, checking why...
*** The test program compiled, but did not run. This usually means
*** that the run-time linker is not finding XINE or finding the wrong
*** version of XINE. If it is not finding XINE, you'll need to set your
*** LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable, or edit /etc/ld.so.conf to point
*** to the installed location  Also, make sure you have run ldconfig if that
*** is required on your system
***
*** If you have an old version installed, it is best to remove it, although
*** you may also be able to get things to work by modifying LD_LIBRARY_PATH
***
configure: error: *** You should install xine-lib first ***

Duidelijke foutboodschap, dat wel: het zou kunnen zijn dat ik xine-lib niet heb geïnstalleerd, maar het zou ook kunnen zijn dat de locatie ervan niet in /etc/ld.so.conf staat, of ik zou kunnen vergeten zijn ldconfig te draaien. Of ik zou een oude versie kunnen staan hebben.

As it so happens was het dat ik ldconfig vergeten was, silly me!

Snel uitgevoerd, nog eens ./configure, even wachten…

Ha. Ja. Uiteraard:

checking for CURL-LIB version >= 7.10.2... 
*** An old version of CURL (7.9.8) was found.
*** You need a version of CURL newer than 7.10.2. The latest version of
*** CURL is always available from:
***        http://curl.sf.net/
***
*** If you have already installed a sufficiently new version, this error
*** probably means that the wrong copy of the curl-config shell script is
*** being found. The easiest way to fix this is to remove the old version
*** of CURL, but you can also set the CURL_CONFIG environment to point to the
*** correct copy of curl-config. (In this case, you will have to
*** modify your LD_LIBRARY_PATH enviroment variable, or edit /etc/ld.so.conf
*** so that the correct libraries are found at run-time))
no
*** All of curl dependent parts will be disabled ***

En nog:

checking for png_read_info in -lpng... no
configure: error: *** libpng is needed (PNG library not found) - try to use --with-png-prefix option ***

En op die laatste is het ding gestopt. Dan maar libpng gaan afhalen zeker?
