unique XMMS2 problem
nobody else has had this problem yet, apparently.
XMMS2 installed normally with scons, only slightly funny line was: sh: git-rev-parse: command not found on my other box the command xmms2d got the player going, here it brings up: INFO: Initialized logging system :) ** ERROR **: IPC failed to init! aborting... Aborted Any theories? I'm stumped. |
This occurs when a user attempts to restart xmms2d and another user has it already started. Login as root, issue "killall xmms2d", relogin as your user and issue "xmms2d &"

aha! that's handy. Problem now looks a little less perplexing...
xmms2-et: error while loading shared libraries: libxmmsclient.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory XMMS2 FAQ: A: Add /usr/local/lib to either your LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable, or as a new line in /etc/ld.so.conf. If you add the line to ld.so.conf, make sure you run ldconfig before trying to use xmms2 again. If you have installed XMMS2 using a non-default PREFIX, the path you'll have to add will be $PREFIX/lib. since I don't know where to look for LD_LIBRARY_PATH, I added /usr/local/lib, the location of my gaim executable I ran ldconfig same error message. seemed easier the first time. |
Okay - to set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH you need to issue this as root:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/lib If you do this, I would remove (or comment out) the extra line from /etc/ld.so.conf. Should this still not help, try running "locate xmms2-et". This will hopefully give you a result. The path to whatever the result is should be appended to the variable (in the same manner given above) or added to /etc/ld.so.conf |
