*sudo ln -s /usr/lib64/mysql/libmysqlclient.so.15.0.0 /usr/lib64/libmysqlclient.so (x86_64)

Configure

At least for Fedora 10:

export LDFLAGS="-L/usr/lib/mysql"

then

cd XBMC/
./bootstrap
./configure

With the above installed packages this should go smoothly :)

Build

make

• jpegint.h error fix

cp XBMC/xbmc/lib/cximage-6.0/jpeg/jpegint.h /usr/include/

Then remake

Install

make install

When this completes you are done!
Simply log into Gnome (or KDE) and open up a terminal and type 'xbmc' and it will load.
