Do you mean Xine? Xine is available from repository and should be downloaded and installed with the Package Manager.

Generally, have a look at:
"Installing Software in Ubuntu" at http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/installingsoftware
"How to install ANYTHING in Ubuntu!" at http://amitech.50webs.com/installing/index.php.html ;and
"Download the Linux Starter Pack" at http://www.tuxradar.com/linuxstarterpack

     Or usually, just read the "ReadMe" and "Install" files.

Can you help with this problem?
