Depending on what distro you are running, (mdk 9.2?) It should already be installed. To find out, open a terminal and type:
 
xmms [enter]
 
Did it come up? If so, it should be in your menu somewhere.

From the link you gave: http://dubaix.l1h.net/Screenshot.png
It looks that you have RedHat. just double click on the rpm and the package manager should install. However, as Dan says, this should already be in your menu. Look there first!

I think he's using Fedora, in which case Xmms is listed in Sound & Video as "Audio Player."

Someone should point out that he downloaded a SRC RPM. You want RPM only, not SRC RPM if you plan to install by double-clicking.

munzer xmms is already installed in ur system. to run it simply open terminal and type xmms [enter] as told by Dapper Dan
however u have to download and install the plugin for xmms to run mp3 files, because that support doesnt comes with it originally.
 
download the plugin for xmms from following url
 
http://havardk.xmms.org/dist/xmms-1.2.7-rh8-rh9-rpm/xmms-mpg123-1.2.7-21.i386.rpm
 
download it and install it using following command
 
rpm -Uvh xmms-mpg123-1.2.7-21.i386.rpm [enter]
 
after this open xmms and enjoy the sound of disco
 
and yeah, please dont type [enter], just use the enter key

There are a few basic ideas for ou for reference...one is there are a few websites that you should know..rpmfind.net and freshrpms.net both are good for red hat users....when you search on rpmfind just make sure oyu get the rpm file not src one...and the correct one for your system...in mine it is always highlighted...it would be called Red hat 9.0 under the sytem...also here are some basic commands...all in terminal
su -makes you root
rpm -i [file name] -makes it install
rpm -Uvh [file name]- make it update
yum check-update -checks up dates and list them for your system, use this instead of up2date
yum update -updates all the available packages
yum install -y [package name] -installs the packages with answering yse to all install questions the package name is obtained from the get update list
i think that is some of the basics.....i'll work on getting a few post to a large tutorial of commands for you but atm not spending much time on web, on vacation at whistler.
oh and fedoranews.org has some nice tutorials

Hi everybody, I'm new here.
 
About munzer's problem, why don't you all tell him (or her?) how to compile the application. He looks like downloaded the source code.
