    I've been working my way through the dependencies, and finally got to libdvdread, which also required libdvdcss.  I installed libdvdcss, and then libdvdread through the package libdvdread-0.9.4-7.1.fc3.i386.rpm  When I then try to run ./configure, the configure script checks a bunch of stuff and then returns the following error (I provided the last 4 lines before the error):

    checking dynamic linker characteristics... GNU/Linux ld.so
    checking how to hardcode library paths into programs... immediate
    checking for pthread_create in -lpthread... yes
    checking for DVDOpen in -ldvdread... no
    configure: error: libdvdread not found!

    Since the libdvdread rpm installed without error, I'm wondering why configure script isn't finding it in the default directory in Red Hat.  Or, is the error related to something else?  Thanks!

      I've also tried uninstalling the libdvdread-0.9.4-7.1.fc3.i386.rpm package, and installing libdvdread-0.9.4-0.el5.rf.i386.rpm instead.  I haven't had too many problems using fc packages, but thought I'd try one built specifically against a RHEL 5 system.  I get the same:
      configure: error: libdvdread not found!
