Hello

Install the glib developpement files.
libglib2.0-dev or something like.

And don't compile as root.

knudfl · 02-20-2009, 09:22 AM

" GLIB - version >= 1.2.2. " That's "glib 1" ( old style )
meaning 1.2.2 or newer is required.

The version on Fedora 8 is 1.2.10 and # yum install glib-devel
will provide glib 1.2.10 -devel.

( Fedora 9 : also 1.2.10 )

.....
And I agree : Do not run 'configure' and 'make' as root !!

again i am getting a same problem.....dont know what to do.....tell me what to do now..i am newbie...Thanks in advance

Why not get 'xmms' with your package manager ? ( # yum install xmms )
If you are quite sure, you want it.
As you can guess, it is very old, and AFAIK, it has been unsupported
for years.

The source code with the 17 (seventeen !) patches necessary to compile
it is available for Fedora 8 at
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pu.../source/SRPMS/

But the advise here at LQ usually is : Use something else.
Just use the "LQ Search".

I also miss xmms but understand its removal as it was hard to maintain and the communication with upstream did not look like optimal (as per the content of some patches, changelog,..)

What replaces xmms? Lightweight, working?

You have to know how to build a program from source rpm. Can't help you with this, sorry.

ok i am ready to use something else....but tell me how to play mp3 in my fedora....is there any player?where to find that player?

knudfl · 02-23-2009, 09:57 AM

In fact xmms works fine with mp3, easy to install,
no dependencies, usually.

To install it : 'su' .. and next ..

# yum install xmms xmms-mp3

And to see other available mp3 packages :
# yum search mp3

More music player's : # yum search music players
( some games will be shown too with those keywords for searching.)
