[xine-user] Bug report: "XInitThreads failed"

[<xi...@ro...>]

bug description
---------------

Xine appeared to compile cleanly, installed without complaint, but fails
to run - exact error is as follows:

rossdell# xine
This is xine - a free video player v0.4.3
(c) 2000, 2001 by G. Bartsch and the xine project team

XInitThreads failed - looks like you don't have a thread-safe xlib.



xine console output
-------------------

As above. There isn't much, I'm afraid.

(The display is 1400x1050 pixel, and DVDs used to work fine when it was
running under winblows when I first got the machine last year - it's a
Dell Inspiron 5000e if that makes any difference).
