just installed the newest PPA and XBMC wouldnt start up after that

got this when i tryed to run it in terminal

/usr/share/xbmc/xbmc.bin: error while loading shared libraries: libfaac.so.0:

i just searched for libfaac in synaptic and installed it and now it works again.

You might wanna add this as a dependency or else it wont boot. Wasnt a problem in older builds.

Thank you for this information
I'll change it

I installed fac and that fixed it (but it should be a dependency since the program won't even launch without it.)

Are you moving dependencies to the distro rather than the precomplied ones that comes with XBMC?

If so, I think that is a marvelous change.

We have to precompile libs so they can be wrapped to access our virtual file system and/or we can track their memory usage and various other stats. However, we have done away with versioning these libs in SVN in favor of compiling them with XBMC.
