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?PAGE=drivers

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 [email protected] 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 [email protected] and put "unsubscribe xmms-devel" in the
body. If you want to unsubscribe from another account put
"unsubscribe xmms-devel [email protected]" in the body of the message
instead.

g3: Why doesn't XMMS support VQF?
It does now. After NTT released their SDK, Mel updated his plugin to be a
native plugin instead of one, which uses wine and Windows DLL's.
Visit http://www.csn.ul.ie/~mel/projects/linux/vqfplugin/ for details.

g4: Can I use Winamp plugins with XMMS?
No. It's windows software, not linux compatible in anyway.
