Slackware 13 and Songbird problem


I love using linux. The main reason I use windows is because of my huge music collection and the lack of good programs to sort and open my music. There are a few apps nowadays that work good. The one I want to use is Songbird. I went to Ubuntu for about a week because all that stuff seemed to work good with it, but i couldnt configure my system as i wanted so i went back to slackware. Now I cant get these fancy media players to work. Songbird seems to want GNOME to work. Slackware 13 does not come with GNOME...Any suggestions? I've been installing anything that I think would get it to work but nothing helps.

Hi.Im using Slackware 13 64 bit and Songbird works fine.I dont have Gnome or Kde.Im using the slackbuild from Slackbuilds.org which is patched not to require gconf.Remove the version you have and try using this one but be sure to first install the dependencies (also available from slackbuilds.org) http://slackbuilds.org/repository/13...edia/Songbird/

Did you check the dependencies? You don't need Gnome for Songbird to work.
