Very Computer

Greetings,
I'm trying to install xmms-0.9.1-1.i386.rpm and in doing an rpm -ivh, it
tells me that I have unresolved dependencies, namely glib and gtk+ must be

Quote:>1.2.2

I downloaded
        gtk+-1.2.2-1.i386.rpm and
        glib-1.2.2-1.i386.rpm

but also saw a glib-devel and gtk+-devel...rpm's

Do I need these "devel" libraries? Is it OK for the "devel" libraries to be
out of "synch"?

To install glib and gtk+, do I just
        rpm -Uvh glib-1.2.2-1.i386.rpm and
        rpm -Uvh gtk+-1.2.2-1.i386.rpm

and then
        rpm -ivh xmms-0.9.1-1.i386.rpm

Do I have to uninstall X11amp beta first? (rpm -e)

This sounds TOO easy and as you can tell, I'm worrying about screwing up
big time here. I've read that I can do that in searching about xmms and the
glib/gtk+ libraries!

(With rpm -q, I notice that I have glib and gtk+ versions of 1.2.1.2 and
1.2.1-10 respectively)

TIA,
Dave

        You only need them if you're planning on building things from
source, or building your own RPMs from source RPMs.

        I don't believe that RPM will let you...  that is, if you
try to install glib-1.2.2 over glib-1.2.1 and glib-devel-1.2.1, you'll
get an error: 'glib-devel-1.2.1 needs glib-1.2.1' or something.  My
advice: use the -test flag to rpm to test things before you do them.

        Yeah, that sounds about right...  as I said, you might want to
try them all with the '-test' flag first, so that you don't run into
any unfortunate surprises.  It's a little redundant, but better safe
than sorry, IMO.

        It's probably a good idea.  I don't think Xmms will automatically
uninstall it, since it's a different name.

        Who said everything about Linux is difficult?   :)

        There was a big change a while back going from glib-1.0.6 and
gtk+-1.0.6 to glib-1.2 and gtk+-1.0.6.  It was possible to royally
*up your system, especially since a lot of apps still required
gtk+-1.0.6 and glib-1.0.6.  You shouldn't have too many problems since
you're only going from 1.2.1 -> 1.2.2.
