GLIB problems installing xmms 1.2.9
i'd probably still consider myself a :newbie: ...but i'm trying, lol
i'm trying to compile and install xmms player 1.2.9 and i keep having this error in 'make' checking for glib-config... no 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= 1.2.2 not installed - please install first *** now, the first time this happened, i figured my glib was outdated..so i hopped over to gtk.org and grapped the newest version.. glib 2.3.2 compiled and installed that according to the instructions with no problem went back to xmms and i still got the same error i also tried ./configure --with-glib-prefix=/usr/local but that still can't find the glib-config any ideas on what i'm doing wrong?? |
Is it a real must for you to install xmms from source? Because, the easier ways would be:
1 - Install from your CD's. xmms is shipped with Redhat, well, since I know Redhat and xmms exists :). 2 - Through apt-get. Apt-get is a package manager made initialy for Debian Linux, but today available for many other distros, including Redhat. You can simply install a lot of applications by simply typing: apt-get install <application>. Examples: apt-get install mplayer it will download all packages (including codecs and gui support), take care of dependencies and install mplayer for you. Same goes to: apt-get install xmms the possibilities are numerous. You can even upgrade a single program (apt-get upgrade <application>) or your hole distribution (apt-get upgrade). Grab this baby here: http://freshrpms.net/ Install the Redhat rpm, then type: apt-get update and you are all set. Say good bye to those dependencies-hell :D Regards! |

Dancingsalad - Try getting the apt-get RPM for RedHat and then type this in the terminal:
apt-get update apt-get install xmms I think... Mandrake's URPMI retrieved it for me and installed it. I'm 90% you can get XMMS from apt-get. |
