Hi,

I'm trying to compile longplayer and it needs a copy of xmms-config.

Where is that file located?

On a related note, how do I determine which package contains what file?

Thanks,

L

I'm not sure where to find it, but here are general hints:
to find a file in your system use:

locate <filename>
or

whereis <filename>

for your second question (how to find which package contains wht) do

apt-cache search <package_name>

good luck

Thanks for the reply. I tried locate and even beagle to search for xmms-config somewhere, but I did not find it.

Does the apt-cache search look for packages that are installed already? How can I ask "what package installs a file called xmms-config"?

I would try installing the development package for xmms, which is called xmms-dev.
