can't find GLIB installing XMMS-1.2.10...

ok
maybe being a newbie could be ok,
but sometimes I feel a dummy...

unpacked xmms-1.2.10
launched ./configure
it returns:

Code:

the glib-configure 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

so?
I think it's in /usr/include/glib-2.0/glib
but how can I insert this in the path?
(this remind me the old PATH line in AUTOEXEC.BAT, but I don't know where to find the linux equivalent)

(ok, I'm not SO confident with linux, but being a little confident with english can do with this)

thanx

XMMS doesn't use glib-2.0 and gtk+-2.0 for that matter. XMMS utilizes glib-1.2 and gtk+-1.2 only which can coexit with glib-2.0 and gtk+-2.0. If you compile XMMS from source you need to install these packages first

libglib1.2-devel-1.2.10-15mdk.i586
ibgtk+1.2-devel-1.2.10-41mdk.i586
libxmms1-1.2.10-16mdk.i586 (maybe or maybe not)

libaudiofile0-devel-0.2.6-3mdk.i586
libesound0-devel-0.2.35-2mdk.i586

libmikmod2-3.1.11-3mdk.i586
libmikmod2-devel-3.1.11-3mdk.i586

libalsa2-devel-1.0.8-15mdk.i586
libogg0-devel-1.1.2-1mdk.i586
libvorbis0-devel-1.1.0-1mdk.i586

Search for and install them first before making ./configure
When you have downloaded the file, installing means that you just have to double click on the file and enter your root password to install.

Here's the link for RPM http://rpmfind.net/linux/RPM/

If you don't want to compile from source which I recommend, you need these packages installed for XMMS player

Main Program(required)
libxmms1-1.2.10-16mdk.i586
xmms-1.2.10-16mdk.i586

Otional
- For skins
xmms-skins-1.0.0-17mdk.noarch

- For MIDI support
slang-1.4.9-12.i386
timidity++-2.13.0-3.i386
xmms-midi-0.03-1.i386

- For context menu in Nautilus
xmms-nautilus-0.2-3mdk.i5

Better yet, I recommend Beep Media Player which you need to install/rpm these packages. And
Beep Media Player uses glib2.0 and gtk+2.0 libraries

Required:
libid3_3.8_3-3.8.3-7mdk.i586
libbeep-media-player2-0.9.7-6mdk.i586
beep-media-player-0.9.7-6mdk.i586

Optional:
beep-media-player-extra-plugins-0.2.2-2mdk.i586
beep-media-player-esd-0.9.7-6mdk.i586

I believe they are all in main. As I mentioned, search for them at http://rmpfind.net or http://rpm.pbone.net/

Hope that helps

I'm speechless when it comes to thank you!
really exaustive stuff
thanx again
