Walter.. When in a hole the best advice is to stop digging.... The 'safest' way to get your xmms running is to go back to the version on the 8.1 disc. To do this just put your Disc #1 in the drive, mount it, and do this:- [derek@Derek derek]$ cd /mnt/cdrom/Mandrake/RPMS [derek@Derek RPMS]$ su Password: [root@Derek RPMS]# rpm -Uvh --oldpackage xmms* Preparing... ########################################### [100%] package xmms-1.2.5-4mdk is already installed package xmms-arts-0.4-6mdk is already installed package xmms-esd-1.2.5-4mdk is already installed package xmms-gnome-1.2.5-4mdk is already installed package xmms-mesa-1.2.5-4mdk is already installed package xmms-mikmod-1.2.5-4mdk is already installed package xmms-smpeg-0.3.4-4mdk is already installed [root@Derek RPMS]# This command will replace any package beginning with xmms even if the current version is newer than the one to be installed. You can use this command to reverse any of the other RPM's you have installed as well.
