Can't install xmms 1.2.10, get the following error msg
Hi all,
I have just introduced myself in the (new member) bit, but come across my first problem. I have searched to find a similar thread as advised, but can't seem to find the answer.
I am trying to install xmms 1.2.10 on my FC3 system in Gnome desktop, but I get the following error message when trying to ./configure it
checking for GLIB - version >= 1.2.2... no
*** The glib-config script installed by GLIB could not be found
*** If GLIB was installed in PREFIX, make sure PREFIX/bin is in
*** your path, or set the GLIB_CONFIG environment variable to the
*** full path to glib-config.
configure: error: *** GLIB >= 1.2.2 not installed - please install first ***
I have just installed Glib 2.6.0 (as this is the version available to me - and according to the xmms site, glib 1.2 or higher is required - so should be ok.
any help solving this prob would be appreciated, as the xmms version installed on FC3 won't play MP3s
Ok, first run 'locate glib-config'. On my system it returns:
/usr/bin/taglib-config
/usr/bin/glib-config
/usr/share/man/man1/glib-config.1.gz
So we are interested in /usr/bin/glib-config
Now run:
# export GLIB_CONFIG=/usr/bin/glib-config
changing the path if your glib-config is elsewhere. Now try your ./configure again.
This should get xmms installed for you, but it is indicative of a PATH problem (as glib-config could not be found).
Edit: sorry, just read your post again, you do realize that there is a simple rpm you can install that will give you mp3 support...I think it is available from xmms homepage, but maybe someone who runs redhat/fedora can confirm where to get this rpm...
For xmms, you need glib-devel and not glib2-devel. Glib 2 and Glib 1 are different, so you will need to have both installed for packages that use GTK 1.x.
