There seems to be a missing symbolic link in the Debian X.org library
package that prevents the linker from seeing the libXvMCW.so.1.0 shared
library, so that it tries to use the static one instead. I fixed this by:
ln -s /usr/X11R6/lib/libXvMCW.so.1.0 /usr/X11R6/lib/libXvMCW.so
Most of the x64-64 MMX-optimization problems should now be fixed in the
latest Xine CVS. Xine developer Miguel Freitas has been doing a lot
of nice work this weekend.
I still had the chcon problem on Debian unstable though. If you get an
error from chcon during install, move it away for a while
(mv /usr/bin/chcon /usr/bin/chcon-backup) and run "make install" again.
This could be a problem with my system only. I'll need to check it before
reporting a bug to the Xine developers.
