You obviously need to install glib. You can check on the version that your system would install, with this command.

Code:

yum provides glib

If the result is not a version that is >= 1.2.2, then you will need to download it from somewhere. Otherwise, install it with this command.

Code:

yum install glib

yes thank you....here is output of that command

[root@localhost xmms-1.2.11]# yum provides glib

Have you tried to install xmms through yum?

Code:

yum -y install xmms

I believe that you have to install the glib-devel package to satisfy the glib-config error. Maybe this will also satisfy the glib error.

I second the idea of using a media player that you can install using YUM. I used to use XMMS, but started having trouble getting an up-to-date version. I found the Audacious media player, and use that instead. It is basically a clone of XMMS, which itself is a clone of the Windows Winamp player, but can be installed and updated using YUM. It also has many plugins available, one of which is needed to play mp3 files. Install it, and all plugins like this.

Code:

yum install audacious audacious-plugins*

i installed xmms from above command...now how to play my mp3 file by using this xmms?

**waterhead** · 02-22-2009

There is a mp3 plugin that is needed.

**devils casper** · 02-22-2009

My mistake ! You have to install xmms-mp3 too.

Code:

yum -y install xmms-mp3

**shariefbe** · 02-23-2009

No.....I am getting the below error message when i use that command

[root@localhost 2.6.26]# yum -y install xmms-mp3
Setting up Install Process

No package xmms-mp3 available.
Nothing to do

Which version of Fedora are you using? Have you installed Livna repo? xmms-mp3 is available in Livna repository.
Execute this

Code:

yum repolist
