I don't autostart it, but that has nothing to do if you are able to compile from svn source or not. That's an entirely different story, though very simple in my eyes ...
E.g. how about simply adding xbmc in "Startup Applications" in System -> Preferences.
Edit: Just tried it that way. Works perfectly fine, xbmc DOES autostart without a problem.
Easy as that ...

Why do you install xbmc-live on top of a ubuntu install? Why not directly use xbmc-live CD?
Or am I missing something here? Wtf do you need xbmc-live in ubuntu? I thought this thread was about compiling from svn. live isn't needed for that in any way.

The regular xbmc-live cd isn't used because it's built on karmic not lucid
xbmc-live is just a script to add features
This thread wasn't started just to troubleshoot compile issues, it was to find out how to boot into a xbmc-live system running on Lucid which is running the latest svn(we could have just used the ppas but they are very unreliable)
From what I gather your running a full desktop style system, which is why your probarly not getting it

From what I read there the OP didn't mention minimal ubuntu or something similiar. And yes, I am running full Ubuntu Lucid AMD64 Desktop.

I'm interested in compiling the most recent release from source on a minimal lucid install and I've running into trouble. I have found tons of outdated guides, but nothing workable.
My main problem is getting lucid to auto start the compiled xbmc.

as for autostart you may wanna check your grubline as well.
Code:
sudo nano /etc/default/grub
Code:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash usbcore.autosuspend=-1 xbmc=autostart,nodiskmount,setvolume loglevel=0"
then run
