Hello everyone! I'm new to Linux, and I'm trying to install XMMS. In the instructions I have to install the glib and gtk libraries, but when I try to execute ./configure I get this error:
freechus9@chyeastation:~/Downloads/glib-1.2.10$ ./configure

checking for a BSD compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
checking whether build environment is sane... yes

checking for working autoconf... missing
checking for working automake... missing
checking for working autoheader... missing

checking host system type... configure: error: can not guess host type; you must specify one
Can anyone help me out? Thanks a lot!

Which Linux distro do you have? you can install xmms through Package Manager easily.
It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.
