Installing XMMS player in Ubuntu

Quick question:

How do I install XMMS after downloading the install file from the website? I tried using the instructions where I type ./configure into the terminal but that did not work either.

Thanks in advance.

I get the following in terminal when I do sudo apt-get install xmms

This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or

Go to synaptic - update the repositories - then do a search for xmms.

Or just:

Code:

sudo apt-get update

Thanks! Updating the repositories followed by sudo apt-get install xmms, worked in case anybody has a similar problem.
