Upgraded to 2.6.11, recompiled xmms after re-unpackaging glibc from slackware packages, and same result... i'll try recompiling glib-1.2 next

And no luck. Anyone please?

[lakerdonald]

can you be more specific about what happened leading up to xmms failing the first time.

Well, nothing that i can think of actually, it just failed.

I had a similar problem to this one, actually the problem was that I had installed audacity which installed some libs I didn't want, so I just installed xmms into /usr/local/lib rather than /usr/lib where audacity put it's libs, it worked fine from then on.
