Since xmms is dependent on ?libmikmod? its better to install xmms through yum which will install dependent modules too 1) So first thing to do is to install the xmms using ?yum? # yum -y install xmms it will install xmms and dependent module ?libmikmod? too. 2) Now download the mp3, wma plugins (rpms from freshrpms) and xmms skins(rpms from freshrpms) and install them e.g. # rpm -ivh xmms-mp3......... > also with the vedio paying. avi's & asf's > i've tried up2date but it tells me that packages > aren't available.. > I am using mplayer for playing movies (mpg, wma etc.) and quite satisfied with it. before installing mplayer, look for these packages from freshrpms (http://stentz.freshrpms.net/) [note: all these packages are required plus more for mplayer to work] aalib-1.4-2.rc5.rhfc4.at.i386.rpm lame-3.96.1-2.2.fc4.i386.rpm libdvdcss-1.2.9-1.2.fc4.i386.rpm libdvdread-0.9.4-7.2.fc4.i386.rpm libmad-0.15.1b-3.2.fc4.i386.rpm libpostproc-1.0-0.16.pre7.2.fc4.i386.rpm libXvMCW-0.9.3-1.2.fc4.i386.rpm mplayer-1.0-0.16.pre7.2.fc4.i386.rpm mplayer-docs-1.0-0.17.pre7.2.fc4.x86_64.rpm mplayer-fonts-1.1-3.fc.noarch.rpm mplayer-skins-1.7-1.fc.noarch.rpm xvidcore-1.0.3-1.2.fc4.i386.rpm additional three libraries were still not there i freshrpms when I installed my mplayer in my FC4 so I installed through yum # yum -y install fribidi (for libfribidi) # yum -y install lzo (for liblzo) # yum -y install lirc (for liblirc) --------- Hope this might be helpful Deepak K.
