If you're using Mandriva, configure your /urpmi/ sources and then you'll be able to download and install an /.rpm/ package for /XMMS./ If you're a newbie, then don't try compiling anything just yet until you know what everything is. Go here... http://easyurpmi.zarb.org/ .... and follow the steps to set your /urpmi/ sources. You can then use /urpmi/ from the commandline or - if so desired - the graphical software manager to download and install packages and keep your system up to date. ;-) -- With kind regards, *Aragorn* (registered GNU/Linux user #223157)

It looks to me like you did not install the development packages for glibc. urpmi glibc-devel >Thanks >Darius

Wouldn't it be libglib*-devel the OP needs? -- Robert Riches spamtrap42(a)verizon.net (Yes, that is one of my email addresses.)

Wouldn't it be libglib*-devel the OP >needs? Oops. rpm -qi libglib2.0_0 Glib is a handy library of utility functions. This C library is designed to solve some portability problems and provide other useful functionality which most programs require. Glib is used by GDK, GTK+ and many applications. You should install Glib because many of your applications will depend on this library. This package contains the library needed to run programs dynamically linked with the glib. So yes, he probably wants urpmi libglib2.0_0-devel |
