damn! you beat me to it :-)
If you want to install xmms-mp3, I would strongly advise to build the
src rpm in you're home directory as yourself! and not root.
Copy the following into a file called ~/.rpmmacros
(you're home directory)
--------- cut ------------
%packager Craig Toenes <mobyg2@yahoo.com>
%_topdir /home/something/redhat
%_tmppath /var/tmp/rpmbuild
%_rpmtopdir %{_topdir}
%_builddir %{_topdir}/BUILD
%_rpmdir %{_rpmtopdir}/RPMS
%_sourcedir %{_rpmtopdir}/SOURCES/%{name}
%_specdir %{_rpmtopdir}/SPECS
%_srcrpmdir %{_rpmtopdir}/SRPMS
--------- cut ------------
mkdir ~/redhat
cd ~/redhat
mkdir SOURCES SPECS SRPMS BUILD RPMS
Then install (as stated before 'rpmbuild', just up2date rpmbuild) then
install the xmms src rpm with:
rpm -Uvh xmms-1.2.7-13.p.src.rpm
Then cd into ~/redhat/SPECS
rpmbuild -ba xmms.spec
That should build and install into the ~/redhat/RPMS/i386
directory
Then as root cd into that directory and run:
rpm -Uvh xmms*
