Yeah - this is my first experience with OSX, I can't really format at the moment (I'm mobile, not home, so I cant backup the ~25gig of important data). I think I'm getting a newer TiBook soon, so I'll be doing _everything_ from source then. On x86 platform's I'm a huge FreeBSD fan, so go figure. I can't reinstall now, though, and XMMS working on this installation would be great. > I found that my xmms acted the same way as yours until I installed > bundle-gnome. > Then, for *whatever* reason, it started working just fine. root@stygian[~]# apt-get install bundle-gnome Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done Sorry, bundle-gnome is already the newest version. 0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. Damn.. Guess installing it won't help ;( Did you mean installing this via fink (source), though? ... that wont work though, see my Evolution post - the compiling crashes at gnome-control-center. > My advice, and that's all it is, is if you don't feel like you are to0 far > into your > current fink setup, then trash it and start anew and stick with source.

Ah. The order I did things in (mac newbie, long time unix user) was to install the April dev tools, then a precompiled Xdarwin, then fink - apt-get at first, until I discovered fink actually did things via source (which is when I got excited, heh). The system's a mess, but cleaning it up isn't really a choice at the moment, unfournately. My /sw is about 5gig's big at the moment (I've installed a LOT of utils). > If you decide to reinstall fink and use source I will be glad to help. > I really hope I haven't confused the issue.
