Alright, after much pissing to get the compliers working I am now trying to 
compile xine-ui, the configure script is bitching that it cannot find the 
xine-0.9.9 binary or libs. See below:

checking for XINE-LIB version >= 0.9.9... no
*** Could not run XINE test program, checking why...
*** The test program compiled, but did not run. This usually means
*** that the run-time linker is not finding XINE or finding the wrong
*** version of XINE. If it is not finding XINE, you'll need to set your
*** LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable, or edit /etc/ld.so.conf to point
*** to the installed location  Also, make sure you have run ldconfig if that
*** is required on your system
***
*** If you have an old version installed, it is best to remove it, although
*** you may also be able to get things to work by modifying LD_LIBRARY_PATH
***
configure: error: *** You should install xine-lib first ***

OK, this is all done, I JUST compiled the xine-lib source and I CHECKED it is 
there in /usr/local/* Hell I even ran ldconfig -v twice! I edited ld.so.conf 
to point at the libray folder and I still get the above. WTF is wrong with 
this shit? I have been fucking with this for hours now and am ready to set 
this on FIRE.

OK I am breathing deep now. Calming down....
