I hope it is ok to jump onto the thread?

I have a new AMD64 and have not been able to play commercial DVDs.  I see the very beginning video and when the encrypted part starts up.. xine quites on me.  I took the advise and when to the link up above and followed all the instructions.  However when it got to this section I am dead in the water.

      Installing libdvdcss2

            Applies to the AMD64 architecture only:
                  The install-css.sh script will compile the libdvdcss2 library for you instead of downloading a prebuilt binary. Make sure you install the debhelper, build-essential and fakeroot packages first. Then issue the command

                  sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/examples/install-css.sh


Since I have AMD64 I ran the above script with all the proper packages installed above I get these errors:
