If you want to compile it, it's actually pretty simple. First, download the .tar.gz file. Extract it to a folder somewhere (the default location that the archive manager extracts to is /tmp. You may want to change this). Go to Applications --> Accessories --> Terminal. Type: cd /tmp/rhythmbox-0.9.3 (or wherever you put it) ./configure (if it complains about dependency problems, you might need to install other packages) make sudo make install And that should be it. -- Adam Zimmerman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> CREATIVITY - http://mirrors.creativecommons.org/movingimages/Building_on_the_Past.mpg ALWAYS - http://randomfoo.net/oscon/2002/lessig/ BUILDS - http://www.theopencd.org/ ON THE PAST - http://free-culture.org/freecontent/ -- Why won't sharks eat lawyers?
