um are you sure theres not a binary release of xmms? you really dont need to be compiling source

you may get an error if you havnt actually installed any development tools as it wont have any thing to compile the program with


look on the net for an xmms binary not the source

What are the applications you are trying to run

What version of Linux do you have

What patches have you applied

Does make run from the HD

Please - more, much more info.

 

ah binarys - damn linux for being so obscure - you were right phoenix - found some binarys and it installed - although i had to roll back the update since it didnt actually work - but it installed fine
