[ale] xmms install for newbie

[eric innis]

hey guys, Im new to the linux scene and I am still
used to point-click programs doing everything for me! 
anyhow I've gotten pretty far.  Downloaded xmms,
unzipped it, did the ./configure and BAM! the thing
says it cant find GLIB>= 1.2.2.  So I go to their
website and grab GLIB 1.2.8 (figurin' it is better)
and I manage to install it with no errors.  Then I ran
./configure in the xmms direcrory agian and still the
same error. so I thought that it wants the 1.2.2 so I
grabbed and installed 1.2.2 (without removing 1.2.8
b/c I dont know how to remove it) and guess what...
same error.   Any help will be repaid with a free
brand new computer of your choosing ...after I win the
lottery. :-)

the complete error is:

checking for GLIB - version >= 1.2.2...no
could not run glib test program, checking why...
the test program compiled, but did not run
BLAH.. the run time linker is not finding GLIB or the
wrong version BLAH.. if it is not finding Glib set
LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable or edit
/etc/ld.so.conf to pint to the installed location also
make sure you have run ldconfig if that is required on
your sys. if you have red hat and GTK package remove
the sucker.




I also tried the ldconfig command but still same
error.  Typing that whole thing sucked, cant you cut
and paste in kde?

thanks a million

-ERIC
