The version of xine you have installed was not built for Fedora Core 3, which 
includes a later version of libcurl than the system that xine was built on.

You can work around this by either:

1. (preferred option) Installing a version of xine built for FC3, e.g. the 
version in Dag's repository: http://dag.wieers.com/packages/xine/

2. Installing the old libcurl.so.2 library, e.g.
# rpm -Uvh 
http://www.city-fan.org/ftp/contrib/sysutils/Mirroring/compat-libcurl-7.11.2-2.i386.rpm
