Path setting in Linux Mandrake 8.1

[slimbim]

I am trying to install Xine on Mandrake 8.1

""Before you can compile xine-ui, you may need to inform your system of
the location of the xine libraries, you may need to set the
LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable to the directory you installed
the Xine library and/or run the ldconfig program. ""

How do I set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH statement to the directory where Xine library is installed?
Where does the library get installed to? Same directory as where ./configure is run?

This will depend on which shell you are using, if I am reading this right (good possibility Im not...).

BASH (hopefully got this right, please correct me if I didnt):
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/path/to/library

CSH
LD_LIBRARY_PATH /path/to/library && setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH


The path that you need should be in either the Makefile for Xine or in the config.h(?) in the src directory for it.

Thank You!

I think I have BASH.
But I am not too clear on where the path is.
How do I tell where the library is installed in ?

Thanks.

Like I said in my first post, look in the Makefile or the config.h(?) to see where this library is installed to. It will probably be something like /usr/local/lib/blah, but I cant tell you for sure.
