xmms-1.2.10 installation
 

Hi

I use redhat enterprise linux3 and trying to install xmms-1.2.10, but so far unsuccessful. When i do ./configure i get the following error mesage -

"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 ***"

How do i forge ahead?

Wishing y'all a happy new year.

Excuse me for stating the obvious but
If it's already installed you can use
to get it's path and then

try obtaining the correct rpms for RHEL3 and your architecture.

rpm is generally a much quicker and smoother installation than compiling from source.

Hi

Notwerk give some pointers on how to find glib which i did. i also downloaded glib-2.8.5 which is in /usr/local/bin. I still got the same error msg when i tried to reconfigure xmms. Pls where do i point it to, to get it to work?

tanx y'all.

First make sure the you run ./configure as root.

If it still gives the same error, try this
and post what you get here.

Also, do consider valencequark's advice.... RPMs are usually much easier to handle than compiling from source.

Hi

I'm running the ./configure as root, but still getting same error msg. I ran the "rpm -qa | grep glib" command as suggested by Notwerk and the output is

glibc-2.3.2-95.37
glib2-2.2.3-2.0
glibc-common-2.3.2-95.37
glibglibc-2.3.2-95.37
glib2-2.2.3-2.0
glibc-common-2.3.2-95.37
glibc-headers-2.3.2-95.37
glib-1.2.10-11.1
glibc-utils-2.3.2-95.37
glibc-profile-2.3.2-95.37
glibc-devel-2.3.2-95.37
glibc-kernheaders-2.4-8.34.2

I appreciate your effort. Tanx.

You should upgrade this package:
cause the one listed is deprecated. The latest version is glib-1.2.10-15 i think, also install the correponsing development package, which should be glib-devel-1.2.10-15 etc...

Try http://rpm.pbone.net/ to get your rpms from... you can also find an xmms rpm for your distro there, too.

Goodluck
