HOWTO: Install XMMS?

[ubuntu-geek]

From the command line you can run the following command:

sudo apt-get install xmms
If you get a error when trying to load xmms or it does not load after installation run the following command to install mikmod. Nvidia card users will need to follow this step.

sudo apt-get install mikmod

[tackatucka]

[tackatucka]

I just put a space between apt and -get, that was my mistake ^^

Package xmms is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or

AFAIK xmms has been replaced with audacious

It's in the repos.

Just to make it clear, a checkinstall of XMMS is available in the repos now. XMMS2 has "replaced" the original version but you can still get the original if you're like me and want to cling to it.

If you want specific plugins for it, you'll have to download them from the XMMS site and compile them if they arent in the repos.

are you kidding? xmms2 has no gui.

forget about xmms people. audacious is the new deal.

Thanks for this ubuntu-geek (can't find the Thank You button anywhere so...). I'm using Debian and XMMS is not even available in the repos (but Audacious) and I compiled it succesfully but when I was to start it, it wouldn't start, failing with some "can't load libxmms.so library". I did the mikmod trick and now it works. So thanks again.

[cuentosdepapel]

thanks very much for the solution! cheers

I've installed xmms2 but has no gui.

Installed audacious but I really dont like it.

So, if I want to use a mp3 player "like winamp" I just have to install xmms am I right? So I've download tar.gz from xmms, and I'me following install instructions. But I have the following error when I run ./configure:


configure: error: *** GLIB >= 1.2.2 not installed - please install first ***


What should I do?
