The precompiled binary works!
At first the screen appeared zoomed, but I read this post in Michael Gorven page:
11.0~git20121018.ff434fe-1: Upgrading to this version will probably result in the GUI resolution being zoomed as described in this forum post. To fix this edituserdata/guisettings.xmland remove the contents of the<resolutions>element.
Thanks, Michael!
This morning I updated raspbian and xbmc has stopped working.
I’ll try to use this binaries in order not to have to compile xbmc again:

Let’s give it a try.
This project is relatively easy to complete. Just follow this tutorial to download and compile xbmc:

I had to wait for 11 hours to have it compiled. After installing some plugins for spanish channels (you can find them in http://blog.tvalacarta.info/) it is completely useable.
I have several projects for my next computer (Raspberry Pi):
– DLNA server for my living room. I already have an OpenSuSE based DLNA server, but it is a x86 PC that consumes a lot of power, and electricity is getting higher everyday, so I need a greener thing. I think Raspberry Pi will have enough speed to serve files through DLNA.
– Web browser connected to the TV set, so I can rent movies or browse YouTube. This is very ambitious from a computing power point of view, because of the 700MHz of the Raspberry Pi. I’ve heard of overclocking and warranty voiding…
– Ultragreen web server connected all day long.
– Irrigation controller, using the GPIO as an input/output interface to moisture sensors, relays, etc, so I can have all my plants happy all along the year.
If I only had more time…
