well, it should work just typing xmms.
are you sure you installed it correctly?

well i think i did, i might not have but i went thru the steps, man this frusterating lol

did you install it from a rpm package?
say
xmms-kde-3.1.whatever.rpm?

you have to type rpm -i xmms-kde-3.1-blahblah.rpm as superuser and it should install it, or give some errors.
so, what happens when you type xmms?

says no such file or directory, but i installed it it was a tar.gz file not a rpm, went thru all the steps and nothing happens when i type xmms in
the file was xmms-kde-3.1.tar.gz
went thru everything istall wise it just isnt coming up?

Try to find the xmms file on your harddisk. If you can find it then you can start it with ./xmms and this means you have installed it.
