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

Code:

#find / -iname glib

to get it's path and then

try obtaining the correct rpms for RHEL3 and your architecture.

http://atrpms.net/dist/el3/xmms/

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

Code:

#rpm -qa | grep glib

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:

Quote:

glib-1.2.10-11.1

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
