You are probably missing some .m4 files made by the gtk/glib installation. For RH5.2 systems
(others?) copy the files located in
/usr/local/share/aclocal to /usr/share/aclocal and try again. (You also need libtool installed.)
_______________________________________________________________________________________________
c2: Why do I keep getting "undefined reference to `gtk_widget_show'" and simmilar?
c3: I've installed gtk/glib 1.2.2 but it still says I an older version?
You probably have an old version installed of gtk and glib that came with your linux distribution
which is confusing the system. You will need to remove the old versions include files and the
gtk-config file before it will work.
for slackware:
rm -f /usr/X11R6/bin/gtk-config
rm -f /usr/X11R6/include/glib.h
rm -rf /usr/X11R6/include/glib
rm -rf /usr/X11R6/include/gtk
rm -rf /usr/X11R6/include/gdk
if configure failed once, don't forget to remove config.cache and then rerun configure

Running:
r1: Why do I keep getting "Gdk-ERROR **: an x io error occurred" when I try to use xmms?
This is because you're running an older system with libc5 and you don't have Thread Safe X libs. You
might want to download theese thread aware xlibs and install them, just untar them into
/usr/X11R6/lib (or appropiate path) NOTE: do NOT do this while X is running.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________
r2: My Xserver crashes when I try to change skin, what can I do?
This is becausee of your window manager, if you browse the configure file for your window manager
you'll find an option called SaveUnder somewhere. In Window Maker change UseSaveUnders = YES; to
UseSaveUnders = NO;
This will fix it for you.. (don't forget to restart your windowmanager)

r3: When using Gnome / Enlightenment the playlist window got lost somewhere in my virtual desktops what
should I do? I'm all out of breadcrumbs.
Edit the ~/.xmms/config file and change the playlist_x= and playlist_y= to sane values.

r4: Why do I keep getting "Gdk-WARNING **: shmat failed!" in Solaris?
Solaris (2.5, 2.6, 2.7) has unsufficient IPC settings by default for some products that use shared
memory.
You need to place this in /etc/system:
set shmsys:shminfo_shmmax = 8388608
set shmsys:shminfo_shmmni = 0x1000
set shmsys:shminfo_shmseg = 0x100
Thanks to Yuri Kulaghin and Jeff Johnson

r5: When I use the OpenGL plugin it only works one time and the next time it crases xmms.
This is a glide bug on voodoo3 cards. You nneed to get the latest glide version at
http://www.3dfxgamers.com/view.asp?IOID=31

r6: If I use the OpenGL plugin with my Voodoo card. it appers to use alot of memory.
This is the Voodoo card memory that is beeing added to the xmms processes. Looks funny but ain't
important.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________
r7: Why does XMMS windows behave diffrently than my other windows?
Since XMMS disables the window managers titlebars, the window manager is unable to raise/lower/move
XMMS as it's configured to do.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________
r8: Why does XMMS have 5-6 running instances which each takes x% of my mem, isn't 5-6*x% memory A REAL
WASTE?
XMMS is not using that memory for each instance, it shares the memory between the instances, so if
you have 6 entries in your "ps aux" output which takes 5mb, XMMS is using 5 mb, and not 6x5mb.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________
General:
g1: Is there a mailing list for xmms?
Yes there is, just send a mail to majordomo@erf.net and put "subscribe xmms-devel" in the message
body.
Please keep any messages sent to this list STRICLTY about xmms. Or we will have to moderate it.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________
g2: How do I unsubscribe from the mailing list?
Send a mail to majordomo@erf.net and put "unsubscribe xmms-devel" in the body. If you want to
unsubscribe from another account put "unsubscribe xmms-devel you@email.adress.com" in the body of
the message instead.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________
g3: Why doesn't XMMS support VQF?
VQF is owned by NTT and licensed to Yamaha. Yamaha are not in a position to license VQF to us and
NTT is not responding to our requests for licensing. Hence support for VQF looks very unlikely.
But go visit http://www.csn.ul.ie/~mel/projects/linux/vqfplugin/ it uses wine and window DLL's.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________
g4: Can I use Winamp plugins with XMMS?
No. It's windows software, not linux compatible in anyway.
