I have tried that route once on another package(on my home ubuntu system).
Its too much weep.
I guess I will head on the freenode and bug the xine channel guys. Normally
I have seen that  asking on specific IRC channels, you get an answer
quickly.
Meanwhile I think I am getting a phd in building kde.
I had to copy the libacl.la to a private dir, change the path to .so for
libattr(its in /usr/lib instead of /lib but libattr.la says its in /lib).
Then I had to do a sed s:/lib/libattr.la:/private/dir/libattr.la:g on all
the kde .la files in my $KDEDIR to build it.
Redhat enterprise sure comes with some quirckyness.
