hello Girish
how did you get the idea to install rpm's? if not for a 'great' purpose, i  
would not attempt to invite difficulties by that. xine (xine-ui) and xmms  
are found in the (standard?) repositories of Ubtuntu. okay, where to find  
xine-skins i do not know myself. and i guess xine-lib is found as  
libxine1c2.
