i want to install xmms(from source);but it requires glib 1.2.2 or greater;where to find it as i was unable
to find it.

Next time, please specify your distro to get a more specific help.
Check out this page to download/install glib.

Why don't you do "yum update glib" to get the most updated glib?

my version is "Fedora Core 4" & i want glib in rpm format;
