devries Posted December 12, 2004 Report Share Posted December 12, 2004 Mandrake uses urpmi to install software (sse the FAQs). To install xmms you need to give, as root in a console: urpmi xmms. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamw Posted December 13, 2004 Report Share Posted December 13, 2004 for future reference, if you ever need to compile something because it's not available via urpmi, the message you were getting indicates that you didn't have the *development libraries* for glib installed. Mandrake splits packages into the parts needed just to run software, and the parts needed when other software wants to build against it. These parts are kept in separate '-devel' packages, to save space. The package that would have solved your compilation problem is libglib1.2-devel (or something similar, I don't remember the exact name offhand). However, you should always try to install via urpmi *first*. Only ever install from source if the software you want has not yet been packaged for Mandrake.
