http://pastebin.com/jzBt222G
any ideas??
It can't find libmad.so.0
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libmad0
cheers, no idea why that was missing, is it not a dependency for xbmc??

yes and no.
libmad0-dev is a required dependecy for building or compiling xbmc.
https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc-packaging/b...n/var_info
that's the list of deps for ppa building Ubuntu distributions. e.g.
https://launchpad.net/~team-xbmc/+archive/unstable
https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/blob/master/README.linux that's for building in any Linux e.g when user compiles own.
in both you can see clearly libmad0-dev
However if you don't compile you likely don't have libmad0-dev installed and when you install libmad0-dev you need and are required to install libmad0...
if your Linux installation or OS of choice doesn't have a Mpeg Audio Decoding (MAD) installed then, you prolly have to install it.
better dependency forcing when you install xbmc can be added but I don't know much about that.
If you install xbmc it automatically
should install all it requires no matter your choice of OS. But clearly its not the case.
that's how I understand it.
